“Neymar’s Injury Woes Continue: Another Setback for Al-Hilal Star”

Neymar's return to the Saudi Pro League has once again been marred by injury, leaving fans questioning whether they will see him play for Al-Hilal again. On November 4, during an AFC Champions League Elite match against Esteghlal of Iran, Neymar came off the bench in the second half and initially thrilled supporters with his trademark flair, showcasing sombrero flicks and step-overs. However, after just 30 minutes on the pitch, his comeback was abruptly cut short due to another injury. The Brazilian forward, who has had a long history of injuries, attempted to maintain a positive outlook, stating, “Hopefully nothing too much ... It’s normal that after one year [out] this happens, the doctors had already warned me, so I have to be careful and play more minutes,” in a social media post. In contrast, Al-Hilal's manager, Jorge Jesus, expressed more concern, indicating that Neymar is dealing with muscle pain, though it is not related to his knee. The club has estimated that he will be sidelined for four to six weeks. As Neymar faces yet another setback, the uncertainty surrounding his future with Al-Hilal looms large.
