When will Neymar play again?
With the knee problem that left Neymar out of action for a year, Al-Hilal did not register the striker in the Saudi Championship at the start of the season in mid-2024. The club had an excess of foreigners and preferred to register fellow Brazilian Renan Lodi.

The plan was for Neymar to gradually return at the end of 2024 and be registered in January 2025 – in place of Renan Lodi. But with the star’s new injury, questionable physical condition and Jorge Jesus’ admiration for the Brazilian left-back, the number 10 was not signed up again.
What was Neymar’s last injury?
The player returned to the pitch in the last week of October 2024, when he entered the second half of a game in the Asian Champions League. In Al-Hilal’s next game in the competition, Neymar also came off the bench and suffered a ruptured left hamstring.
Since when has Neymar not played?
Due to the injury sustained in the game between Al-Hilal x Al-Ain in the AFC Champions League, Neymar has not played since November 4, 2024. At the time, the recovery period was four to six weeks (one month to one and a half months).
