Neymar’s return to football pitches did not last long.
An unpleasant moment for the most expensive football player in history, who arrived in 2017 in Paris St. Germain for 222 million euros, occurred just two weeks after returning from a serious injury. He was out of football for more than a year due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus.
Star Neymar returned to the pitch last month when he played the last quarter of an hour against Al-Ain of the United Arab Emirates.
He was absent from the squad for the next three matches but got another chance on Monday night when Al Hilal welcomed Iran’s Esteghlal to their stadium.
Coach Jorge Jesus sent him into the game in the 58th minute of the match at 2:0 for the home team. But he worked on the lawn for less than half an hour. In the 87th minute, he called for a substitution and was painfully holding his hamstring.
How serious Neymar’s latest injuries are remains to be seen. At least he can be happy with the fact that his team won 3:0 and is 100 percent so far after four matches in the competition. Serbian forward Aleksandar Mitrovič scored a hat trick in the match.
Neymar transferred to Al Hilal last August. However, due to a serious injury, he has only played six games so far, in which he scored one goal and assisted in three.
His contract with the Saudi Arabian club ends in June next year, and there are speculations that he will return home to Brazilian Santos, where he started his big football career. His departure to Inter Miami for Lionel Messi is also in play, as he recently bought a luxury property in Florida.
