When will Al-Hilal's Neymar return from injury? Latest update

The Brazilian was seen in the Saudi club’s training session.

Neymar seems ready to put an 11-month injury horror behind him. During Al-Hilal’s recent training session, the Brazilian was seen practising shooting.

The 32-year-old attacker has not played since October 18, 2023, when he injured his knee ligaments while playing for his nation in World Cup qualifying. The former star of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain then went on a long road to rehabilitation.

Due to fitness concerns, Neymar has only made five appearances and scored one goal for Al-Hilal. As a result of the ligament injury, he was unable to play a larger role in the team’s 2023–24 Saudi Pro League title victory. Nonetheless, he is totally dedicated towards his return.

The club will hope Neymar completes the last year of his contract in the Middle East. Transfer rumours from the summer have swiftly subdued, despite reports of a reunion between Lionel Messi and Neymar at MLS team Inter Miami.

The Samba star found the back of the net effortlessly during the shooting drill, suggesting that he is ready to get back into the competitive game. With a smile back on his face, Neymar plans to impress crowds in the near future with his performance.

It is clear that Neymar, the Brazilian star, will be a member of the team. He is scheduled to return from injury by the end of 2024. Regarding Renan Lodi, rumours have circulated over the last week stating that Al-Hilal have been seeking suitors for the full-back. However, with the transfer window now closed, Lodi will continue with the Saudi club until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old had an ACL tear during Brazil’s 2-0 loss to Uruguay in October. He hasn’t been seen on the field in a competitive capacity since.

Hopefully, the fans will be able to see the player before the end of this season. They have only witnessed the former Barcelona star Neymar play barely for the Middle Eastern club.
