The Brazilian is making his comeback in the Saudi squad several months after his serious knee injury with the Brazilian selection.
If he is not expected to start the match, the number 10 should however come into play and play in this Champions League match.
In a pre-match press conference, his coach Jorge Jesus was clear about his case: if he is in the group, it is because he is capable of playing this game. “ On October 18, Neymar completed a full year since his absence. He is still regaining his fitness and his level, and we are working step by step until he returns to the high level he was playing. Neymar’s presence has nothing to do with a maneuver or a deception for the opponent. Tomorrow (today, editor’s note), Neymar is able to play, and every time I decide to play him, he is ready, but he is in the preparation phase and is finding his form more. »The message is clear.
Finding your best level and Brazil
Neymar seems to be back. And the Brazilian intends to find his best level within the Saudi Pro League but also with the Séléçao. His objective is clear: to be part of the Auriverde group during the next international break in November to play the matches against Venezuela and Uruguay.
