Neymar Jr. has been a crucial player for Brazil on the international stage. The 31-year-old is a vital part of the way in which Brazil’s interim coach Fernando Diniz sets his team up. The number ten plays a pivotal role in linking up the play for his national side. He is often lauded for his work ethic during an entire span of a soccer match.
The Brazil forward Neymar Jr. plays for the Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal at the club level. He signed for the Middle-East club, after his much-talked-about departure from French club PSG. However, recent injury scares have halted his decent run of form for Al-Hilal.
In a recently surfaced online video, the 31-year-old was spotted showing off his new haircut. In a video post titled – “That hairline is cooked”, by ‘Neymoleque’ (fan page) on ‘X’, the player can be seen giving his fans a view of his new look by tilting his head and showing his side hair profile.

However, the new haircut of the star winger from Brazil hasn’t gone down well with the fans. They have expressed their opinions regarding it in a quite unhesitant and sarcastic manner. One of the fans suggestingly tipped the player and stated – “Should pay Turkey a visit”. Another one asserted – “He gotta go bald at that point”.

A follower ironically wrote – “Why is he still not doing hair transplant?” Another fan sarcastically inflicted – “Get behind me ney, they’re cooking you”. One of the fans expressed – “He is his own enemy at this point. Bro cooked his hairline from all haircuts and hair dyes”. From the reactions of the fans, it can termed that, they are not quite impressed by the Brazilian’s new look.
Neymar Jr. speculated to miss the Copa America 2024
The Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal earlier confirmed that Neymar did suffer an ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injury. The player was also reported to have a tear in his meniscus. The 31-year-old caught the injury while playing against Uruguay in one of Brazil’s World Cup Qualifier matches.

The player was expected to undergo surgery in order to find out the extent of his injury. As per a recent report from ‘Fox Sports’ the Brazil winger has completed the surgery procedures in his home country. However, his entire recovery could take a period from six to twelve months.
With this span of recovery time, the forward is speculated to miss the 2024 Copa America. The tournament will be hosted by USA in the middle part of the next year. His fans, however, would wish him a speedy recovery. It remains to be seen, if he does miss the tournament, how Brazil cops in his absence.
