NEYMAR’S partner, Bruna Biancardi, has issued an update after she sparked health fears.
It came after Bruna showed up at the NFL clash between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs in Sao Paolo, Brazil, last Friday wearing a face mask.

But she has now lifted the lid on the reason for that, revealing how she came down with a bacterial infection after squeezing a pimple.
She said: “It all started with a simple pimple that I wanted to squeeze.
“It got infected, swelled up a lot, and turned into facial cellulitis.”
Bruna, 30, had huge swelling around her mouth, particularly on her lips.
Facial cellulitis is a condition which can cause redness, pain, swelling and fever, and in severe cases can lead to complications such as meningitis or cavernous sinus thrombosis.
It requires immediate medical attention when discovered.
Fortunately, Bruna is now on the mend and has been able to crack some jokes about her situation, although she did also leave a warning to fans.
The model influencer who has more than 14 million followers on Instagram said: “The photos are horrible, sorry (laughs).
“But it’s to warn you never to squeeze a pimple again.”
Bruna and Neymar, 33, went official on their relationship in January 2023.
However, it has been somewhat tumultuous despite the birth of two children with Neymar, Mavie in October 2023 and Mel in July of this year.
In late 2023, Bruna confirmed she and Neymar had split up after the footballer was accused of asking an OnlyFans model for nude photos and trying to flirt with another woman at a party he hosted at his Brazilian mansion.
But the couple then got back together before announcing they were expecting a second child together on Christmas Day 2024.
Neymar himself is back playing his football with his boyhood club Santos after years in Europe with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain before an ill-fated stint in the Middle East with Al-Hilal, where he played just seven times.
He made headlines off the pitch after a football-mad billionaire left $1billion to Neymar, despite never meeting the Brazilian.
