Al-Hilal releases an official statement on Neymar’s injury

Al-Hilal’s forward player, Neymar is expected to be out for at least four to six weeks after he picked up injury upon his return from a long spell of injury.

Al-Hilal confirmed the news on its official website on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, amid speculation over the Brazilian’s future with the Saudi Arabian club.

Neymar made his second club appearance following a 12-month injury layoff by coming on as a substitute in the 58th minute of Al Hilal’s 3-0 win over Esteghlal of Iran in the AFC Champions League Elite on Monday.

Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus said Wednesday, November 6, 2024, in a pre-match news conference.

“Unfortunately, it is not a simple injury and he seems to be suffering from muscle pain and it is not a knee issue,”

Recall that Neymar took to social media to update the supporters of the club.

He wrote,

“Hopefully nothing too much, It is normal that after one year [out] this happens, the doctors had already warned me, so I have to be careful and play more minutes.”

Neymar has played just seven games for the 19-time Saudi champion since signing in August 2023. He is not currently registered to play domestic league games as the club has registered already 10 foreign players.
