Neymar Jr. has always been a player holding two sides, one being his fascinating skills, and the other being his injury record. Neymar recently signed for the Saudi giants, Al-Hilal in the summer of 2023. Having a fantastic start to his career at Al-Hilal, Neymar suffered a massive blow.
On international duty with Brazil back in October, Neymar faced an ACL injury which fully destroyed his hopes of a new journey in Saudi Arabia. Recently, a video related to his recovery came out showing what measures was he taking during his recovery stage.
During this recovery, it was seen that Neymar was crying heavily as doctors led the procedures. Taking a look at such a procedure, a famous Iranian youth mentor and a multi-F.A. qualified football coach, Mehran Rowshan couldn’t handle his emotions.
He said, “Neymar he crying, he’s shouting just because they want to get his range of motion fully back all the physios are going crazy that’s not how you do it.” Having suffered two different ACL injuries across his career he knew how it felt when suffering such a massive injury.
He further added, “If you want to get the range of motion back, if you want to be able to flex your knee completely there are other ways that’s dinosaur behavior.” Claiming there are methods with which you can recover from such injuries and not suffer from much pain.
He also stated, “Neymar earns millions of dollars, and Al-Hilal has the best medical team in the world, who am I to say that’s wrong.” With this message he displays yes, he has his experience but he still isn’t a doctor to show how to recover from injuries.
When will Neymar return to action?
Knowing how many players have suffered from it, ACL injuries are no laughing matter. The estimated recovery time ranges from 6 to 12 months, depending on the severity of the damage and the player’s healing process.

In Neymar’s case, experts predict an absence of around 8-10 months, placing his potential return somewhere in June-August 2024. While fans crave his immediate return, rushing the process could lead to further complications.
Neymar faces a rigorous rehabilitation program, consisting of intensive physiotherapy, muscle strengthening, and gradual reintroduction to training. Holding a case as a sensitive matter, Neymar will be taking his time out and recovering quickly as soon as possible.

As it stands, since his injury Neymar hasn’t kept himself shy and has been supporting his team through their journey this season. It has been seen via his Instagram stories, that he has been supporting his team and having full joy with their results as well.
Currently, Al-Hilal languishes 1st in the Saudi Pro League, sitting 7 points ahead of the 2nd placed, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr. Al-Hilal are already performing so well without Neymar, it will surely be interesting to see how they perform once the Brazilian maestro returns to action.
