Неймар о своей травме: надеюсь, что ничего страшного
Neymar, the Brazilian footballer of the Saudi Arabian team Al-Hilal, mentioned on his social media that he felt very strong cramps due to an injury he sustained during the AFC Champions League match against Iranian Esteghlal.
"I hope I will pass the tests and there will be no problems. It is normal after a year. The doctors have already warned me. So we need to be careful and play more minutes," Neymar said.
The game was Neymar's second since returning from a cruciate ligament injury in the group stage match against Uruguay in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which ruled him out for 369 days.
In the summer of 2023, Neymar joined Al-Hilal from Paris Saint-Germain in France for €90 million, playing 5 matches and scoring 1 goal for his new team. On 18 October 2023, Neymar suffered a torn cruciate ligament and meniscus during Brazil's match against Uruguay. His recovery was expected to take around 10 months.
