How bad is the Neymar injury? Brazilian star stretchered off

Neymar Jr was stretchered off the pitch after picking up what appeared to be a serious knee injury.

The 31-year-old forward tripped in an innocuous-looking incident in Brazil’s World Cup qualifier against Uruguay, which Brazil went on to lose 2-0. Neymar went down shortly before halftime and was immediately surrounded by teammates.

He left the field on a stretcher, in tears. Richarlison came on to replace the man who he has described as his hero.

Given his age and fitness problems, this latest issue could pose a real threat to the Brazilian’s ability to play at the highest level. The team’s medical staff have not yet released any information on the extent of the injury.

The 31-year-old immediately signalled to the bench.

What is Neymar’s injury?

It’s difficult to access the extent of Neymar’s issue before an official statement is released, but the early signs do not look good for the former Paris Saint-Germain forward.

Neymar went down after a slight collision with a Uruguayan player and immediately called for medical assistance. Knee injuries of that severity are often related to the anterior cruciate liGament, also known as the ‘ACL’.

They are notoriously hard to predict but ACL injuries are among the most serious that a soccer player can sustain. For Neymar, a player who relies on his ability to quickly change direction, a serious ACL injury would be a major blow.

About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay NEW YORK -- About 3,000 asylum-seekers have been told their time was up in New York City shelters, but about half have reapplied to stay, according to a newspaper report. The United States' most populous city has struggled to contend with the arrival of over 120,000 asylum-seekers in the past year. About 60,000 are currently in shelter s run by the city, which is legally required to provide emergency housing to homeless people. The obligation is unmatched in any other major U.S. city. Mayor Eric Adams announced in July that New York would start giving adult migrants 60 days' notice to move out of city shelter s. The policy has since been extended to families with children, and tightened to 30 days for adults not accompanied by youngsters. Migrants, many of whom don't have legal authorization to work, can reapply for shelter if they can't find...

Rumors about this case first began circulating in the 1950s, although details were not widely known until 1977. This case shares similarities with the Del Rio, Texas UFO Crash of 1955 and the Coyame UFO Incident of 1974, both of which reportedly also occurred along the Texas-Mexico border. According to Texas Monthly, talk of a UFO crash near Laredo first surfaced in the 1950s[2] , with additional details being released in 1978 by the late Leonard Stringfield, one of the first UFO researchers to advocate serious investigation of reported UFO crashes.
