Al-Hilal Club announced that Neymar da Silva can participate again in matches after an absence of more than a year due to injury.
Neymar was injured during his participation with the Brazilian national team in the international break in October 2023 with a torn cruciate ligament and cartilage, which caused his return to the stadiums to be delayed for a long time.
The 32-year-old was removed from Al-Hilal’s local list, but by decision of coach Jorge Jesus, he was included in the Asian list to give him some friction before returning to the local list next January.
Al-Hilal is preparing to face Al-Ain in the third round of the AFC Champions League elite stage, and the Brazilian appeared in group training for the first time after completing the rehabilitation program.
Neymar has only played 5 matches with Al-Hilal after moving from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 for 90 million euros.
Neymar is expected to participate if Al Hilal succeeds in securing the lead over Al Ain at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium, and Jesus will not risk involving him at critical times or for a long period in light of his physical condition and the fear of him recurring injury.
