<p><strong>Santos FC</strong> have confirmed that <a target="_blank" href="https://gistreel.com/tag/neymar-junior"><strong>Neymar Jr.</strong></a> has tested positive for <a target="_blank" href="https://gistreel.com/tag/covid-19"><strong>Covid-19</strong></a> and will be sidelined once again, extending a frustrating spell of absences for the Brazilian forward.</p>
<p>The 32-year-old, who rejoined Santos in January following an injury-riddled stint with Al-Hilal, has featured in just 12 matches for his boyhood club due to ongoing fitness issues.</p>
<p>The club announced that Neymar began showing symptoms on Thursday, June 5, and has been in isolation since then.</p>
<p>“With a viral condition that began on Thursday, Neymar Jr. underwent laboratory tests, after evaluation by the Medical Department of Santos FC, which confirmed infection by Covid-19,” read an official statement.</p>
<p>“The player had already been away from activities and remains resting at home, undergoing symptomatic treatment.”</p>
<p>Neymar was already suspended for Friday’s match against Fortaleza, meaning the Covid diagnosis won’t affect immediate team plans.</p>
<p>Santos’ next fixture is against Palmeiras in nearly a month, following the Club World Cup break.</p>
