    Neymar’s recent injury record is a warning to the team and pl refs what will happen if they continue to let Saka get kicked and hurt week in and week out without repercussions.

      I think it says more about Neymars professionalism and lifestyle.

      He was very much like Ronaldinho off the pitch.

      Of course being kicked around plays a part too but not the main imo.

        Nah come on man. Neymar had played 225 games for Santos before he was 21. That’s like 5/6 full seasons. Then allhe accomplished playing in Europe. I don’t think the lifestyle is the main reason here.

      Lol. Neymar and Saka are playing in the least ankle breaking period of football…. Watch any game from 15yr ago+ and compare.

      A few bruises on the ankle is nothing in comparison.

      It is also a potential warning regarding playing time. Neymar played over 10,000 minutes for Santos before he was 21 - Saka played over 13,000 minutes before the same age. Messi played 6,462 minutes before he turned 21, and Ronaldo played 8,125.

      Every player is different, and I don’t mean to imply causation or anything. It is striking to see the difference though.
