New footage of Neymar going through painful ACL rehabilitation goes viral

Neymar has been going through it since tearing his ACL, with videos of his rehabilitation doing the rounds on social media.

Unfortunately for the 31-year-old, his season ended not long after the move as the forward tore his ACL on international duty, one of football's worst and most unforgiving injuries.

An ACL tear is an excruciatingly painful injury, but as new footage shows, the recovery process may hurt just as much.

In the viral video, Neymar's recovery process looks like it is progressing, but he is in a lot of pain while being attached to a machine to boost recovery.

The viral footage can be seen below:

Despite this tough process for Neymar, there always seems to be a question of 'what if' with the Brazilian #10 and the heights of his career.

He is widely regarded as one of the most talented and skilled footballers on the planet when he is 100% fit, terrorising defences, tricky skills, and scoring goals.

A move to PSG in the summer of 2017 for a record-breaking €222 million carried so much promise at the time, as the forward looked to step out of Messi's shadow.

Despite the promise, Neymar was plagued by injuries during his time in the French Capital and it became common for him to be out injured, watching from the crowd.

Football fans will hope that he can recover from the injury and be back at the highest level as soon as possible, but at 31-years-old, it is less than likely.
