According to Globo, Brazilian national team forward Neymar, who plays for Saudi club Al Hilal, will be recovering from knee surgery for ten months.
Recall that on October 8 in the game against Uruguay in the qualifying for the World Cup-2026 (0:2) 31-year-old Neymar collided with midfielder Nicolas de la Cruz, after which he was unable to continue the match and left the field on a stretcher. The forward was diagnosed with an anterior cruciate ligament injury and a torn knee meniscus.
In the season-2023/2024 Neymar managed to play three matches in the Pro League, where he scored three assists, as well as two matches in the AFC Champions League (one goal). The Brazilian's contract with Al Hilal runs until the end of June 2025, and the player's market value, according to Transfermarkt, is €60 million. It was reported that Al Hilal may receive compensation of €7.5 million from FIFA through a special program due to the injury of their player.
