The timing of the Brazilian’s return to the field has not yet been announced.
Medical examination carried out on the forward Al-Hilal And Brazil national team Neymar, confirmed disappointing forecasts. He was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his knee, as well as anterior cruciate ligament injury.
The star Brazilian will undergo surgery, and then a recovery program, the timing of which has not yet been determined. The Saudi club supported the player, calling on him to “come back stronger.”
Recall that Neymar suffered a knee injury in a qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup against Uruguay. The Brazilian striker was substituted late in the first half and left the field in tears on a stretcher.
Let us remind you that Neymar recently recovered from a previous injury. This season, the 31-year-old striker has played only 5 matches for Al-Hilal, in which he scored one goal and gave three assists. According to media reports, he planned to return to Brazil in 2024 to prepare for the 2026 World Cup in a familiar environment.
The Brazilian national team lost to Uruguay on the road with a score of 0:2. After four rounds played, the Brazilian team ranks third in the South American qualifying standings for the 2026 World Cup.
