Neymar is reportedly set to meet with a 'miracle doctor' in a bid to salvage his 2026 World Cup dream.

The 33-year-old had a bit of a late season resurgence after a troubled start back at Santos, scoring five goals and providing one assist in his last four games.

Santos certainly needed it, as their three consecutive wins saved them from relegation and took them to a 12th placed finish.

Neymar played through some major pain to help his boyhood club, and with the Brazilian season over, he is now focussing on his fitness as he hopes to make Carlo Ancelotti’s squad for next year’s World Cup.

According to ESPN, Neymar will consult with a famous Brazilian physiotherapist, Eduardo Santos, AKA 'Dr. Miracle.'

Santos has worked with several Brazilian players, often using unconventional methods to help them get over serious injuries.

One of the most notable was back in 2015 when David Luiz, who was ruled out for ten weeks, managed to make his return within ten days.
