The Brazilian was not included in Al-Hilal’s squad for the season due to the limit on foreign players
Attack Al-Hilal Neymar will not be able to play in the championship Saudi Arabia until January 2025.
The 32-year-old Brazilian was not included in the squad for the season due to the limit on foreign players. It will be possible to make changes to the application only in January – it is then that Neymar should appear among those players who will be able to play in the domestic championship.
On October 21, Neymar entered the field a year later – the forward played 14 minutes in the Asian Champions League match against Al Ain (5:4).
Let us remind you that the star Brazilian missed the whole year due to injury. Neymar suffered a knee injury in October 2023 in a 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay. Since then, the forward has not entered the field. Neymar was diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his knee, as well as damage to the anterior cruciate ligament.
At the beginning of September it was reported that the forward would return to the field no earlier than November. The Brazilian failed medical and fitness tests, which, as was then reported, would delay his further recovery until at least January.
Al-Hilal will play their next match on November 1 against Al-Nasr as part of the Saudi Arabian Championship.
