Neymar is back in training with Al-Hilal and is in the final stages of his recovery meaning the Brazilian star trained for the first time since his injury with the Saudi side
Undoubtedly, his time away from the soccer pitch has given a lot to talk about, especially Romario’s birthday party, where social media went wild because of the Brazilian’s physical form.
Despite the edits that appeared on social media with the image of Neymar with extra kilos, the player himself came out to deny all this and say that he is fit and eager to return to play and has remained disciplined.
So, Neymar returns to Saudi Arabia to begin training with the club’s doctors and trainers in order to regain his best form in a season where the Olympic Games and the Copa America are just around the corner and are possibly his last chances to win either before retirement.
The objective for the Copa America
Neymar is aiming to be able to go to the Copa America with his national team as they bid to seize the status as champions from their arch rivals, Argentina, who won the 2021 edition by beating Brazil 1-0.
Seeing the recovery history of this type of injuries and counting the estimated recovery time which was 10 months, Neymar would not arrive in time for the Copa America, missing his chance to avenge the final of three years ago.
But seeing that he is already training with his club, hopes appear and now we will have to see if with Al-Hilal he plays some minutes this season and if he arrives in shape for the summer where his national team is waiting for him to play the Copa America.
Neymar’s record with Brazil
Neymar’s Brazil career is marked by dazzling skill and significant contributions. Since his debut in 2010, he’s been a linchpin of the national team, amassing numerous accolades. With over 100 caps, he’s showcased his flair, scoring crucial goals and leading Brazil to victories in major tournaments like the Copa America and Olympic Games.
