Last month, Neymar (31) suffered a torn cruciate ligament and meniscus in the game between Uruguay and Brazil (2-0). Anyone who thinks that the attacker has been shooting a calm ball since then has recently been proven wrong.

In the match against Uruguay, Neymar had to be carried off the field in tears. The severity of the injury could already be guessed at that time. Footage of his rehabilitation, which the Selecao star uploaded to social media, now confirms this impression.

In a clip, Neymar can be seen screaming in pain during the exercises, which in turn deeply moves his fans. “Sad to see the man like this, we hope he comes back soon,” wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter). “It’s dark to see,” another user summed up the mood in the comments section.

Neymar certainly didn’t share these violent moments to shock his supporters. He probably wanted to show them the torment that the injury-prone professional regularly goes through in his career. He had previously spoken on social networks about the physical and mental stress associated with rehab.

Al-Hilal has removed Neymar from the squad for the time being

Neymar’s club, meanwhile, reacted with understanding to the striker’s failure. According to information from the Saudi Arabian newspaper Arriyadiyah, Al-Hilal left him out of the matchday squad for the rest of the season. In this way, the person affected can fully concentrate on their recovery.

Last summer, Neymar moved from Paris Saint-Germain to Al-Hilal for 90 million euros. Since then, the newcomer has only played five competitive games for his new club. Since his contract is valid until June 2025, he should ideally still have enough opportunity to prove his worth.
