Neymar has recently returned to training, but the 31-year-old Brazilian star’s ability to recover from his injury is still a big question mark. Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus did not reveal the situation.
Fans of Al Hilal Club recently expressed disappointment when Neymar was not included in Al Hilal’s squad for the match against Al Ittihad in round 5 of the Saudi Pro League early on the morning of September 2. Even without the Brazilian star, Al Hilal Club still beat Al Ittihad 4-3 thanks to striker Mitrovic’s hat-trick. In this match, Al Ittihad Club had the presence of veteran striker Benzema and midfielder Kante. As for Al Hilal, goalkeeper Bono, midfielders Ruben Neves, Milinkovic-Savic, midfielder Koulibaly and Malcom are all top stars recruited in the 2023 summer transfer window.

Neymar did not play in the Al Hilal match against Al Ittihad, causing this star’s debut to continue to wait for a while longer, possibly after the FIFA Days match in September.
Neymar is still called up to the Brazilian team to play two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup in South America against Bolivia on September 8 and Peru on September 12. After that, he will return to Al Hilal Club to prepare for the match against Al Riyadh Club on September 15.
“Neymar’s ability to play in these matches is still a big question mark. Therefore, Al Hilal fans are very disappointed, because Neymar is the most expensive contract in the team’s history, but his debut Yours has not been found yet,” said Marca newspaper.
