"The operation was a success. We're very satisfied with the result," said Rodrigo Lasmar, the Brazilian team doctor who performed the surgery. "He had a reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and the two meniscus injuries have been repaired." Neymar is expected to remain at Mater Dei hospital for another 24 to 48 hours.
