The Brazilian has managed to feature in only 12 games for his boyhood club since his move to the Brazilian Serie A side amid a lack of fitness and struggles with injuries.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Santos have now confirmed that Neymar is set for another stint on the sidelines after having tested positive for Covid-19. The statement from the Brazilian Serie A side confirmed that the former Barcelona star has been isolating since testing positive on Thursday.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>In an official statement, Santos wrote: "With a viral condition that began on Thursday (June 5), Neymar Jr. underwent laboratory tests, after evaluation by the Medical Department of Santos FC, which confirmed infection by Covid-19.</p><p>"The player had already been away from activities since Thursday, when he began showing symptoms, and remains resting at home and undergoing symptomatic treatment, as determined by a doctor."</p>

WHAT SANTOS SAID
