Signs of a crisis have appeared in the past few hours between Al Hilal Club and the Brazilian Football Association, and the reason is Neymar.
Neymar returned to participate with Al Hilal again after a full year of absence due to injury, as he played a few minutes with the “Blue Wave” against Al Ain in the AFC Champions League.
According to Brazilian media, coach Dorival Junior wants to summon Neymar to the Selecao camp during the next international break in November.
The advice that the coach received from the Brazilian national team’s medical staff was not to summon Neymar and give him more time to recover, but Junior refuses and wants to benefit even from the player’s presence in the locker room.
This matter caused great anger for the Al Hilal management, as the Saudis reject the idea completely and want Neymar to continue with the club and not participate even for a few minutes in the matches of South America, which are famous for their physical strength and difficult stadiums.
Neymar suffered a torn cruciate ligament and cartilage while playing for Brazil in October 2023, which makes Al Hilal management want to avoid a repeat of the situation at all costs.
Brazil has the legal right to summon Neymar unless his injury is proven, but Al Hilal management will do everything in its power to reach an amicable agreement with the Samba country not to send the player, and if necessary, the conflict may be escalated to preserve the health of the 32-year-old.
