Neymar Jr unable to get the spotlight in the Saudi Pro League, due to the consecutive injuries, which keeps him out of action. He has played just 7 games for Al-Hilal in 15 months, showing concerns on his injury and setback.
Watching a player coming in as a substitute and being substituted in the same game is a rare case but this has happened in the case of Neymar Jr. During the AFC Champions League clash against Esteghlal of Iran, he came into the game in the second half.
The fans were delighted to watch him perform well against them, as he did some flick kicks, but it was shortly enjoyed. This was followed by a slight stretch of the ball, which led to another injury for Neymar in the tournament. Just before this game, he came off from a 12-month injury and it has been followed by another injury.
He has been prone to injuries over the past few years and informed fans through his social media, saying,“Hopefully nothing too much … It’s normal that after one year this happens, the doctors had already warned me, so I have to be careful and play more minute.”
This was also followed by an announcement, which was made by Jorge Jesus, who said,“Unfortunately it’s not a simple injury and he seems to be suffering from muscle pain and it is not a knee issue.”It has been predicted that he’ll be out of action for four to six weeks for the team.
The match against Esteghlal of Iran was won by Al-Hilal by 3-0 and this was Neymar’s 7th game in the 15 months he has spent in the team. This also shows that his time in the Saudi Pro League may come to an end soon, if the injuries follow quickly.
