Neymar is recovering well after knee surgery, but it’s unclear when he’ll be back playing for Al-Hilal. The 31-year-old suffered a significant knee injury while representing Brazil in a 2026 World Cup qualifier last month. The rehabilitation for an ACL rupture typically spans eight to 10 months.
Brazil’s team doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, affirmed Neymar’s strong commitment to regaining full fitness, stating, “He has demonstrated, from the first moment, that he is following what we are proposing.”During Brazil’s 2-0 loss to Uruguay, Neymar was emotionally taken off on a stretcher after an awkward landing from a challenge in the first half. Despite his recent move to Al-Hilal from Paris St-Germain for 90 million euros plus add-ons in the summer, Neymar has been limited to five games due to muscle injuries.
