Al Hilal Star Neymar Provides Injury Recovery Updates as He Nears a Return to the Pitch After Long Layoff
The 2023-24 season was a successful one for Al Hilal, but one key player was missing: marquee signing Neymar. After a long injury layoff, everyone at the club is excited about Neymar’s prospects of returning to the pitch. The Brazilian attacker provided an update suggesting that he may soon be on the pitch playing for the club.
With only five appearances for Al Hilal before his knee ligament injury in October 2023, Neymar has been on the sidelines for close to a year. He is on a lucrative contract and Al Hilal would love to have him contributing on the pitch. Neymar is already back training on the grass and has been working hard in the gym. Posting images of him in the gym on his official Instagram account, Neymar said, “One more day of work, one less day of waiting.”
Despite being deregistered last season to make room for foreign signings, Neymar remains committed to seeing out the remainder of his contract. The sentiments at the club are mutual, with both parties eager to witness his magical displays in the Saudi Pro League. The hope is that he will be ready within the first half of the season and get the chance to be an integral member of the squad, if not the leading star.
