Neymar ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while on international duty with Brazil, Al-Hilal have confirmed.
Now, club side Al-Hilal have confirmed the player's worst fears. "The medical tests Neymar underwent, confirmed the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus tear injury in his knee, he will be going through surgery and then a treatment program that will be determined later. Return Stronger," the club wrote on social media.
The ACL injury news comes as a huge blow for both the player and his club. The Brazilian was the most expensive arrival in the Saudi Pro League during the summer. The 31-year-old took some time to make his debut for Al-Hilal as he was still recovering from a knock that he picked up last season. He finally played his maiden game last month and scored his first-ever goal for Al-Hilal in the AFC Champions League earlier this month in FC Nassaji. He has appeared in five matches including three in the Pro League thus far and scored just once.There is a possibility that the former Barcelona star could miss the remainder of the season but an official confirmation of his return is yet to be announced.
