Neymar returns to the infirmary, is it serious?

Although he has only returned to the field for two weeks, the Brazilian striker has once again contracted a physical problem.

Clearly, Neymar has not yet finished eating his black bread. The Brazilian thought he saw the end of the tunnel when he found the green rectangle 15 days ago with his Al-Hilal team, but here he is immobilized again.

This Monday, during the Asian Champions League match between Al-Hilal and Esteghlal (Iran), the former Parisian left the field half an hour after coming into play. The reason? A muscle injury to the thigh.

Neymar doesn’t see the end of it

We will have to wait to find out how serious the injury in question is, but that doesn’t say anything of value, especially when we know the medical bulletin of the Auriverde international.

As a reminder, before returning to competition at the end of last month, Neymar remained on the sidelines for more than a year due to a ruptured cruciate knee ligament. We can at least reassure ourselves that this is not a relapse.

Despite Neymar’s injury, Al-Hilal emerged victorious from their match (3-0). Serbian striker Aleksandr Mitrovic was responsible for these three goals. The Saudi Arabian champions perhaps no longer need their Brazilian star and his around 150 million euros per year as much.
