PIC: Neymar is starting to go the route of the “original” Ronaldo as mumps takes its toll on his face

Bet you never thought you'd see Neymar with a double chin.
The Barcelona forward is one of the slightest players in world football but his bout with mumps is causing quite a bit of swelling around his face. https://instagram.com/p/6TUnypBqvq/?taken-by=jotace520 Neymar is expected to miss the first fortnight of the season as he recovers from the viral disease but teammate and close friend Dani Alves has absolutely no sympathy for his fellow countryman as he mocked Neymar, saying "at the end of the day, those are things that happen to a kid." We hope that he recovers soon and doesn't endure the 10-year mumps cycle that Ronaldo has presumably been going through.
