Football fans were greatly surprised to see "Santos" forward Neymar on the field.

It was recently announced that the 33-year-old Brazilian has been prohibited from playing sports by doctors.

The veteran was diagnosed with a meniscus injury and was told not to play any more this season.

However, according to the Brazilian press, the veteran decided to risk his health.

He scored a goal and provided an assist in the match against "Sport."

"The injury won't stop me. I feel better and I will definitely show up in the next "Santos" match," said Neymar.
