Neymar is finally back on the pitch  - 1

Al-Hilal striker Neymar, who missed an entire calendar year with injury, is close to returning to the pitch , reports ESPN.

The 32-year-old Brazilian has not played since October 2023 after tearing cruciate ligaments in his left knee. At the beginning of November, he underwent a successful operation, and in July 2024 he returned to the club and started training in the gym. Neymar is due to take part in the Asian Champions League match against Al Ain on October 21.

Brazil's doctor is also expected to arrive in Saudi Arabia soon to assess whether Neymar will be able to play for the national team in games in November. The Brazilian played just five matches for Al-Hilal, scoring one goal and making three assists.
