Paris Saint-Germain winger Neymar has left hospital after undergoing successful surgery on his injured foot.
The world's most expensive player fractured his fifth metatarsal during last weekend's 3-0 win over Marseille before travelling back to Belo Horizonte for an operation.
Neymar is now expected to miss the next three months of action, likely ruling him out for the rest of the club season and seeing him return to fitness just in time for this summer's World Cup in Russia.
The Brazilian has now left hospital following the surgery and will begin his rehabilitation with Brazil and PSG physiotherapist Rafael Martini.
Neymar will miss PSG's Champions League second leg against Real Madrid and Brazil's two warm-up friendlies later this month as he continues his recovery.
The 26-year-old has scored 28 goals in 30 appearances for PSG since joining from Barcelona for £200m last summer.
