Neymar could be back in action next week

Neymar, who has been sidelined for a year with a knee injury, has returned to training with Al-Hilal, putting an end to his ordeal of the last few months.

However, according to ESPN, the player has stepped up his recovery and everything seems to be going smoothly. The forward could be ready for next week, specifically for his team's AFC Champions League match against Al-Ain.

However, the final word will be left to Al-Hilal coach Jorge Jesus, as well as the Brazilian national team doctor in charge of Neymar's surgery. The latter is expected to travel to Saudi Arabia to see the player's condition first-hand.

Neymar played his last match on 18 October 2023. It was with Brazil against Uruguay, where he suffered a serious injury, rupturing the meniscus and anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
