WHAT HAPPENED ?

The Al-Hilal and Brazil star shared an update on his ACL injury. He posted a video on Instagram where he could be seen in extreme pain at times while going through the recovery process. He shared the video with the caption that translated to, “Everything passes.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 31-year-old suffered a knee injury during Brazil’s World Cup qualifying match against Uruguay in October and then had to undergo surgery earlier this month to treat the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus.

WHAT NEXT FOR NEYMAR?

Neymar will miss the remainder of the ongoing season which comes as a huge blow for his club Al-Hilal who spent nearly €90 million (£77m/$98m) to bring him to the Saudi Pro League. The player will now hope to get fit in time before the Copa America 2024 which starts in June in the US.
