Neymar continues to panic the counters. Except now, these are statistics that the Brazilian striker would have happily done without.

Monday evening, Neymar was unable to finish the match between Al-Hilal and Esteghlal FC (3-0) in the Asian Champions League. The Auriverde international had to leave the field in the 87th minute of play, only half an hour after coming on.

“He is coming back from an injury which is not easy,

first recalled the Portuguese coach of the Saudi club, Jorge Jesus, in comments reported by Globo Esporte. He plays in a position that makes him very vulnerable to contact. I believe his injury is muscular, not knee. He is expected to be out for at least two weeks. » As for the main person concerned, he mentions

“a cramp”.

Neymar comes into contact with the infirmary a lot

Since his arrival at Al-Hilal in the summer of 2023, from Paris Saint-Germain, the Brazilian striker has missed 87% of his club’s matches according to local media Arriyadiyah.

Soon, he will reach 400 days of absence.

More than a year after his serious injury to the cruciate ligament and meniscus of his left knee during a match between Brazil and Uruguay, Neymar returned to competition on October 21. If the former Barça player was sometimes unlucky, his somewhat reprehensible lifestyle was not always unrelated to the numerous physical problems that punctuated his career. Which is probably finished at the highest level.
