Neto is expected to be out until February after suffering a setback in his recovery from a fractured kneecap, reports The Athletic.

Neto underwent successful surgery on his knee this week and will begin his recovery process, hoping to be ready by the start of next season. According to Nuno Espirito Santo, "It's a period that he's going to stop competing, but not stop from working. It's a matter of finding the right things he can do in these moments, he can take advantage and make the time useful, and at the same time prepare for other aspects."

Neto suffered a significant injury to his knee cap and will undergo surgery later this week, likely ending his season, according to the team.

Neto was forced off in the 32nd minute of Friday's match against Fulham because of a knock to his knee.

Neto recorded an assist on 10 crosses (four accurate), four chances created and four corners in Monday's 3-2 loss to West Ham.
