After a grueling 378 days of recovery from an ACL tear, Neymar is finally ready to make his much-anticipated return to the pitch. The Brazilian superstar has been named in Al-Hilal’s squad for the first time in over a year.

"Every day away from football is painful for me. I love this game. It’s the thing I cherish the most in my life," Neymar shared as he reflected on his journey back to fitness.

Neymar is expected to play in Al-Hilal’s upcoming AFC Champions League clash against Al Ain on Monday. This match will mark his first official appearance since sustaining the injury during Brazil’s 2023 World Cup qualifiers.
