The head doctor of the Brazilian national team, Rodrigo Lasmar, said that the Al-Hilal striker Neymar suffered the most serious injury of his career.
Neymar suffered a torn cruciate ligament in October while playing for Brazil and subsequently underwent surgery. The expected recovery time for the 31-year-old footballer is around ten months.
— Neymar is recovering well, but he is just starting out. It’s a very complex injury, he has a torn ligament, he needs to get up for a while. There will be a long rehabilitation ahead. Neymar understands the seriousness of his injury. This was his third operation in his professional career. This is the most serious damage he has suffered and his recovery will take longer than previous ones. We need him to focus on recovery,” Lasmar said according to ESPN.
Earlier, media reported that Al-Hilal was considering suspending the contract with the Brazilian striker due to his injury.
The Brazilian striker played 5 matches with Al-Hilal, during which he scored 1 goal and made 3 assists. He joined the Saudi team from Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
