Absent from the field of play since suffering a serious knee injury in November 2023, Neymar will not be ready to start the season with Al-Hilal, as revealed today Jorge Jesus, Portuguese coach of the current champion of Saudi Arabia.
“The only thing I know at the moment is that the time Neymar needs to recover, and in general for this type of injuries, is 10 to 11 months,” said the Portuguese coach.
Not even in the preseason
“If we do the math, he won’t be ready to do the preseason preparation,” added Jorge Jesus. Al-Hilal secured its fourth title in five years on May 11 and the Saudi Por League begins in August.
Neymar underwent surgery in Brazil in November of a torn cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee that occurred on October 17 while playing with the Brazilian team against Uruguay, in a qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup.
Neymar, 32, left PSG in 2023 for Al-Hilal, where the media say he earns around 100 million euros per season, but He was only five games into his streak before his injury.
