Al-Hilal FC have officially announced Neymar Jr’s injury as the Brazilian suffered a hamstring tear and will be out of action for 4-6 weeks.
The 32-year-old superstar had only just recovered from an anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered while representing Brazil last October. He was out for a year.
Upon his return, he played only 42 minutes in 2 games for Al-Hilal in the 2024/25 season, before sustaining another injury in the AFC Champions League earlier this month.
He was withdrawn just 29 minutes after being introduced as a substitute in a 3-0 win over Iran’s Esteghlal.
Al-Hilal announced the former Barcelona and PSG forward injury on their social media page.
“The scans revealed that Neymar Jr. has suffered a tear in his hamstring”, Al-Hilal said in a statement posted on X.
“He will undergo a treatment and rehabilitation program that will last from four to six weeks.”
Since joining in 2023, Neymar has only played 7 games for Al-Hilal, scoring 1 goal and 3 assists.
Neymar is expected to miss at least a month, just two weeks after returning to action for Al-Hilal.
