Today is a special day for fans of both the Brazil national team and Al-Hilal. For the first time since October 18, the legendary Neymar has been included in the squad for an official match. He may take the field in the AFC Champions League third-round clash against Al Ain. Here’s how the player himself commented on his return.
Details: The Brazilian posted heartfelt words on his social media platform X.
Quote:
“I’m happy to feel like myself again, the butterflies in my stomach before a match—always a good feeling... may this be a return full of health! May God bless and protect us.”
Reminder: On October 18 last year, Neymar suffered a serious ACL and meniscus injury during a 2026 World Cup qualifying match.
Since joining Al-Hilal, Neymar has managed to play just five matches for the Saudi champions, scoring one goal and providing three assists.
