Fitness and injury struggles has meant fans have barely caught a glimpse of the 128-time Brazil international.

And they won’t be able to see him play any time soon either after it was revealed that he has contracted Covid-19 and is unable to play.

A statement from Santos confirmed that the former PSG and Barcelona winger has been isolating since Thursday and is now recovering at home on the advice of a doctor.

Fans can’t quite believe that Neymar is set to be out of action once again, having already missed 10 games this season.

One wrote: “He will do anything but play football“.

While another asked: “Does he Google excuses?”

A third added: “Bro ran out of injuries, he brought back the pandemic“.

And a fourth joked: “Bro really does everything to not play a game at his club”.

Neymar saw his time in Saudi Arabia follow a similar trend, with an ACL injury seeing him miss the majority of his time in the Middle East.

The Samba star manged just SEVEN games in total for Al-Hilal, despite signing a two-year deal worth a reported £129m-per-season.

Injuries and a lack of football have also meant that Neymar hasn’t represented the Brazilian national team since 2023.

But new Selecao boss Carlo Ancelotti hasn’t ruled out a shock call up in the near future, despite leaving the 33-year-old out of his first squad selection.

Speaking to the media, he said: ““In this call-up, I selected the players who are doing well.

“Neymar has just returned from injury, everyone knows his quality and we are counting on him”

Titled: “The fits & the details ” Michelle showed off her slender fame in a series of crochet outfits.

One yellow strapless number looked stunning as Michelle posed against a sunset, with the intricate looping pattern giving the outfit a pop of character.

The second outfit was a chocolate brown maxi dress perfect for a holiday dinner, with a plunging neckline and metal looping on the chest displaying gold seashells.

The third pic was a turquoise blue, with the star showing off frilled detailing as she leaned against a tree, and looked out over a sprawling garden and swimming pool.

All of the dresses are part of Michelle’s thriving Very collection.

The new photos come just three months after Michelle gave birth to her baby girl, Palma, with husband Mark Wright.

Fans praised the star for “getting her figure back so quickly” begging for secrets on how she did it.

“You look absolutely stunning…I am still trying to get my post baby figure back and my baby is 17 this year!” joked one.

“How does anyone look that amazing after just having a baby ” wrote a second.

“@michkeegan firstly wow you looking stunning motherhood is clearly suited for you …” wrote a third.

Michelle is currently enjoying a family holiday with her little girl, with other photos declaring her little girl “Princess P”.

This year is proving a massive change for the family, with Michelle saying goodbye to her beloved Sky series Brassic.

The final season airs later this year, with filming wrapping in May and Michelle bidding an emotional farewell to her troublemaking sweetheart, Erin.

Michelle said alongside behind-the-scene pictures: “So finally the Brassic journey has come to an end (feels so strange saying that) and what an unbelievable 7 years it’s been. I feel so privileged to have been a small part of such a mighty show.”

The couple’s trip to comes after Mark dropped a huge hint on social media that he might be heading back to the states for work.

Mark took to his Instagram story as he took a selfie outside of the impressive US Embassy building in Nine Elms, London.

The former ITV reality star captioned his snap: “Visa renewal,” alongside an emoji of the US flag.

DANA WHITE has insisted he WILL promote the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford fight – marking yet another twist.

Canelo is due to defend his undisputed super-middleweight titles against unbeaten American Crawford in September.

Dana White insists he will promote Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford[/caption]

And Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh – the financial backer behind the bout – initially announced that UFC boss White would promote.

The super-fight was set for the Las Vegas Raiders’ NFL stadium with Netflix on board to broadcast that bout.

That was until Alalshikh made a U-turn and claimed Saudi-based Sela would promote and it would instead be on pay-per-view.

White was probed on Alalshikh’s comments after UFC 316 – but hit back to maintain he will be involved in the fight.

He said: “I’m promoting the fight. I’ll let you guys know when it’s time to let you guys know.”

TKO Holdings – who own the UFC and WWE – signed a multi-year partnership to establish a boxing promotion alongside Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh.

As well as a UFC-style boxing league, two super-fights were set to be promoted by TKO and White every year.

And Canelo’s blockbuster against Crawford was due to kickstart the partnership.

Then all of a sudden, Alalshikh told Ring Magazine – which he owns – that the date of the bout was set to change.

And he was also considering having the bout move to New York or Los Angeles – opposed to the £1.5BILLION, 65,000-seat Raiders Stadium.

It caused huge confusion with the news the fight would also be under the Riyadh Season banner and on PPV – suggesting White and Netflix were out of the picture.

But, White clarified: “Listen, when we’re at work in UFC headquarters, I’m in my own little world, man. I don’t pay attention to any of that s***.

“I know what’s going on, I know what we’re doing, I don’t really pay attention to that stuff.”

White has partnered with Alalshikh before having held two events in Riyadh in the past.

Canelo, 34, beat William Scull, 32, to regain the 168lb undisputed thrown in early May as part of his four-bout deal with Alalshikh.

Meanwhile Crawford, 37, has not fought since moving up to 154lb to win the WBA title against Israil Madrimov, 30, in August 2024.

ONE in five Brits admit to daydreaming about ditching the UK for a new life in sunny Spain. 

It’s no surprise when you discover you can escape the Great British gloom for a three-bed in the Med for just £500-a-month.

Areas like Villajoyosa have a more authentic vibe[/caption]

The 2024 British Expat Report shows even more British families are considering emigrating in the next five years, with 11 per cent ready to leave right now.

According to the data, 532,000 Brits emigrated last year, with 45% craving a better quality of life, 39% blaming the cost-of-living crisis and 37% just sick of our miserable weather.

Millene Adaime works for relocation experts, Movinn, who help people move to Spain and Portugal from overseas. 

Over recent years, the demand for expats seeking a new life in Spain has increased, with more families reaching out to them for help. 

She told Sun Travel: “Spain used to have the reputation of being somewhere to retire to in your 60s and 70s, but we are getting more requests from modern families or young entrepreneurs who are looking for a different way of life.

“The cost of living here is more affordable, and, of course, we have a fantastic climate.”

With demand growing, areas typically popular with Brits flying south for the sun are becoming crowded and more expensive. 

Boozy Benidorm has long been the Brit bolthole of choice, but Millene says the party playground is not necessarily the cheapest spot on the coast. 

She said: “Brits tend to favour areas they already know, like Benidorm, and due to the popularity of British movers to the area, the suburbs outside the tourist hub are very nice and very desirable.

“However, the downside is that prices are on the rise and it’s not the cheapest place to move to now.”

Think about where your kids will be going to school in Spain[/caption]

Plan ahead

Milene warns families also need to take into account other things that may end up costing more money down the line. 

She said: “We identify our clients’ needs and make suggestions that might make life easier once they move in.

“For example, if you have kids and would like them to attend an International school, where they speak primarily in English, moving to an area with a good school that has space available is highly recommended.

“You don’t want to base your family somewhere and land yourself with a terrible commute. 

“Some areas are better for families and some are more suited to young professionals. 

“Of course, our retired residents tend to favour the south of Spain, due to the year-round warm weather.”

Milene says when her clients ask for advice, she tailors it to suit their needs. 

She said: Some people who come to Spain from the UK want a completely different way of life. They want to embrace Spanish culture and go all-in. 

“Cádiz in the south is very Spanish. It’s a traditional community where people leave their front door open and it’s very social.

“It’s a place where your friends will just walk into your home, uninvited. A lot of Brits are thrown by this.

“Some people want to move here for the weather and be around other British people.

“That’s fine, but I would recommend a different area to them, where life is a bit closer to home.” 

With more people working from home than ever and incentives for business start-ups in countries like Spain, it’s no wonder that so many of us dream of a new life on the beach.

Do you imagine yourself soaking up the sun after work and spending weekends sipping €3 Cava under a palm tree?

If you are considering a Mediterranean move, these are the Spanish spots you should be looking at this year:

Best all-rounder – Alicante

The San Juan neighbourhood in Alicante is a great location for British families[/caption]

This is a good choice for Brits wanting to start a new life in Spain.

Alicante is a well-rounded city with beaches, international schools, good healthcare, and excellent public transportation.

It’s a popular choice for British families and has a strong expat community, which will help you settle in and feel more at home. 

Look at suburbs like San Juan or El Campello, since they are particularly family-friendly.

Expect to pay:

A three-bed house in El Campello, close to the beach: £1,000-a-month.

Three bed apartments can be found for £750-a-month.

Best for budget – Torrevieja

Torrevieja is a beautiful coastal area, just south of Alicante.

The rustic coastline is less populated and made up of a series of secluded coves and sandy beaches. 

It’s less crowded than the more famous tourist areas and cheaper than many other coastal towns, since it’s very small and quaint. 

However, expats are catching on and Torrevieja has started to build a significant British population. 

It offers a quieter, simpler lifestyle with essential amenities like parks, beaches, and English-speaking services, making it ideal for families looking for lower rental costs.

Expect to pay:
A three-bed apartment with a balcony and a partial sea view: £506-a-month. 

A three-bed house with gardens and shared pool: £1,000 per month.

Best for families – Malaga

Malaga is popular with Brits moving to Spain and has great weather[/caption]

With claims of over 300 sunny days a year, Málaga is popular with sun-seeking Brits.

Compared to other European cities, it is considered very affordable and has a stretch of beautiful beaches. 

Málaga features several international schools, including the British School of Málaga, and Brits can enjoy very convenient flight links to the UK all year round.

Away from the nightlife strip, the coastal suburbs like Pedregalejo and Rincón de la Victoria are excellent for families.

Expect to pay:
A three-bedroom house in Pedregalejo: £1,500-a-month.  

A three-bedroom apartment with sea views in Rincón de la Victoria is £1,100 a month

Best for young professionals – Seville

Sevilla has fantastic weather and a rich history[/caption]

A city rich in culture and charm, Seville offers a warm climate and a more relaxed pace of life.

It’s a good option for families seeking a more traditional Spanish experience, but Brits might be put off that there is no beach.

The closest beach is inside the Donana National Park, an hour from Seville. 

While there are fewer international schools than in Alicante, but bilingual education options are available if you want the kids to learn Spanish too.

Affordable housing with a bit more space can be found in areas like Mairena del Aljarafe, outside the city centre.

Expect to pay:

A semi-detached home in a serviced complex with a shared pool: £1,338 a month.

A three-bed apartment in Mairena del Aljarafe: £700 euro a month.

REIGNING champion Carlos Alcaraz has his sights firmly set on back-to-back titles – but he is currently a set DOWN to World No 1 Jannik Sinner.

Spanish sensation Alcaraz’s spot in this afternoon’s showpiece was handed to him when his semi-final opponent Lorenzo Musetti was forced to retire with leg issues.

While World No.1 Sinner may have ended Novak Djokovic’s Roland Garros career after beating the super Serbian by straight sets in a dominant final four match to get here.

The winner of this mouthwatering clash will not only get to lift the Roland Garros title, but they’ll be taking home a huge pot of prize money.
