It’s not uncommon for football players to undergo minor surgeries, such as tonsillectomies, especially during the off-season or when there’s a break in the schedule. In this case, Neymar, the new Barcelona star, and Jordi Alba underwent tonsil surgery, and the club has reassured fans that the operations were successful.
The recovery time of around ten days suggests that both players should be back in action relatively quickly. Neymar is expected to make his debut for FC Barcelona on August 2 against Santos at the Camp Nou. Taking a few days of vacation in Santos before returning to Barcelona is a common practice for players during the off-season.
The fact that Neymar posted a photo on the plane with a Brazilian t-shirt might disappoint some Barcelona fans who were likely looking forward to seeing him in the club’s colors. However, it’s important to remember that players need rest and recovery, and the preseason is an opportunity for them to recharge before the new campaign.
Once Neymar is fully recovered and back in training, fans can expect to see him in action for Barcelona, and hopefully, any disappointment will be overshadowed by his performances on the pitch. In the world of football, managing players’ fitness and well-being is crucial for long-term success.
