Neymar Faces Two-Week Layoff Due to Muscle Injury After Return to Action
Posted : 05 November 2024
Neymar will be sidelined for at least two weeks following a muscle strain sustained during Al Hilal's AFC Champions League Elite match against Esteghlal.
The Brazilian forward, who had only recently returned from a year-long recovery from knee surgery, was forced off the field after 26 minutes due to a right hamstring issue.
Coach Jorge Jesus noted that while Neymar's knee is healed, he may face muscle-related setbacks due to his long period without playing.
Neymar remains listed for the AFC Champions League but is not registered for the ongoing Saudi Pro League season.
