Entering the game after half-time, Neymar left injured a few minutes before the end of the Asian Champions League match between Al-Hilal and Esteghlal this Monday in Saudi Arabia.
For his second match after a year of absence, Neymar thought he would have a quiet evening this Monday during Al-Hilal’s success against the Iranians of Esteghlal in the Asian Champions League (3-0). Despite the care taken by the staff not to take any risks with him, the Brazilian was unlucky and injured again.
Entering shortly before the hour mark, Neymar finally left the field in the last minutes of the match. After an action where he came close to scoring and where he stretched out his leg to try (in vain) to control the ball, the former Barça and PSG player stood behind the thigh.
Neymar between anger and frustration
After a slight stoppage, the Auriverde star came out next to the goal before being taken care of by the Al-Hilal medical staff. Unable to continue due to what looks like a muscle injury, Neymar was replaced with death in his soul.
Disappointed when returning to the Saudi club’s sidelines, the winger withdrew and threw away his shin guards and then his shoes in anger and disappointment.
Anxious to get back into shape after his year away from the field, the fault of a knee injury, Neymar therefore sees his rise in power cut short by this new physical problem. Cruel for the one who hoped to string together good matches to convince the Brazil coach to recall him to the selection in 2025.
