Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Neymar just returned from a long injury and now he has to experience injury problems again.
Neymar was not installed as a starter in the Al Hilal vs Esteghlal match in the Asian Champions League match. Coach Jorge Jesus most likely still wants to maintain Neymar’s condition by not directly using Neymar’s energy.
When the match entered the 58th minute, Neymar was finally introduced. Neymar was played to replace Abdullah Al Hamddan.

Unfortunately, Neymar’s appearance on the field did not last until the end of the match. In the 87th minute, Neymar was withdrawn to be replaced by Mohammed Al Qahtani.
Quoted from BR FootballNeymar is said to have suffered a thigh injury. Neymar’s injury is believed to have arisen when he tried to reach the ball in the penalty box by stretching his legs. There was no impact in the process of the injury.
Since returning to the gridiron, Neymar himself has only appeared in two matches. In the previous match, Neymar only appeared as a substitute. Neymar competed for 13 minutes in the duel against Al Ain.
Even though Neymar was injured, Al Hilal was able to end this match with a landslide victory. Aleksandar Mitrovic was the star of the field with a hat trick.
Al Hilal achieved perfect points, 12 points from the four matches played. They also sit at the top of the standings.
