More fear than harm! Neymar, who returned to the field two weeks ago after more than a year of absence due to a serious injury, has not finished giving his fans a few scares… and the managers of his club Saudi Arabia from Al Hilal. The Brazilian actually saw his return cut short on Monday evening for his second match of the season.
Came into play, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, in the 58th minute of the Asian Champions League match against the Iranian team of Esteghlal, while Al Hilal was already leading 2-0 thanks to Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic ( finally author of a hat-trick and 3-0 victory), Neymar left his team a few minutes later. Feeling discomfort in his right thigh, he was replaced in the 86th minute. He held his thigh as he left.
In the evening, the person concerned himself reassured his fans in a story on Instagram. “I had a cramp, but it was very strong. I’m going to take some exams and I hope it’s nothing more. It’s normal that this happens after a year, the doctors had already warned me, that’s why I have to be careful and have more minutes to play,” wrote the Brazilian international.
Although the injury does not appear serious, it could, however, force him to stay away from the field for a few more days. “He is coming back from an injury which is not easy and he plays in a position which makes him very vulnerable to tackles,” said his coach Jorge Jesus. I think his injury is muscular and not knee. He is expected to be out for at least two weeks. »
