It could be like that, but what is certain is that Neymar was declared to have suffered a minor injury. it is possible that he has not actually recovered from his injury. or it could be, if Neymar was injured in the pre-season match even though Neymar scored 2 goals in that match. and my assumption is that Al Hilal knew very well about Neymar's condition before they brought him to Saudi. in fact, the coach Al Hilal stated it during the welcoming ceremony for Neymar. that the Brazilian star will not be making his debut any time soon, probably in mid-september. roughly, that's the rumor I read.

If we examine it, it means that Al Hilal already knows Neymar's condition but they don't seem to mind it. after all, if it's only a minor injury, maybe Neymar only needs one or two weeks to return to the field to make his debut with his new squad. and in any case, the presence of neymar for Al Hilal will have a positive impact. and as you said, Neymar is not only to strengthen the team but there are other contracts that involve commercial matters.

I guess we can call it as a package acquisition because acquiring Neymar doesn't solely mean that they are only going to benefit from his expertise and strength inside the field. Of course his influence in the sport is also a big thing because he isn't just an ordinary football player that will just show his shadow whenever they have games, Al-Hilal and the whole Saudi League is going for the bigger picture and it was the same reason why they acquired Ronaldo and attempted to get Messi and Mbappe.

I think Al-Hilal's goal in signing Neymar is not only to strengthen the squad but they want to cooperate commercially with Neymar. We know that it can be said that Neymar's influence is third after Ronaldo and Messi in football, therefore they want to continue promoting the saudi league with the star players they have managed to bring in. Neymar will definitely be very happy to be able to help the Saudi league and he will also contribute his experience in Europe for development here. Regarding Neymar's injury, this is nothing new for Neymar and indeed we can only hope for a faster recovery.

Neymar's function as a forward on the football field is highly suspect due to injury. I doubt very much that the situation will change after the next games. Even considering that it will be easier for him to play in the Saudi Professional League.

Saudi Arabia's path through it to the 2030 World Cup is quite real. More broadly, Saudi Arabia wants to diversify oil revenues, which is why so much money is spent on football.

about what Neymar is currently experiencing it seems that Al Hilal already knows that Neymar has been injured but as you said if Al Hilal wants to recruit Neymar not only for his talent but also to gain popularity in football. so when Neymar moves to Al Hilal like now for sure Neymar fans will follow where he goes and for sure Neymar fans will indirectly become Al Hilal supporters like now when I rarely paid attention or bet for SPL team but after Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr I have become a bit more into betting on SPL teams.
it does not matter to Al Hilal even though the injury suffered by Neymar is not necessarily completely healed but Al Hilal believes that the teams in the SPL will become a top team and become one of the famous leagues like other European teams.

If Al Hilal was aware of this, then it is fine. Otherwise it doesn't make any sense to spend so much money on him. Injury has been a big issue for Neymar. He is still regarded as one of the top-5 footballers at present, but there is not much demand since he is prone to injuries. But a few good matches can turn the tide for Neymar. He has the quality, and the opposition is not that tough. And one thing we need to remember here is that Neymar was purchased not just for his skills, but also for his celebrity status. And who knows? He may play an important role in the 2030 World Cup hosting bid by Saudi Arabia.

Al Hilal are well aware that Neymar was injured before they decided to sign him. They should be aware that they were not buying a perfect player after Man City, Chelsea, Bayern, and Real Madrid, deliberately turned down the opportunity to sign him. The striker should enjoy his fat pay and the club should build on the reputation and experience Neymar will bring to the team.

Staying out of play for one month is not a big deal. The season is still long and Al Halal should hope that he doesn't have any more injuries. The club should not rely on the Brazilian striker because he is not getting any younger so his performance will keep depreciating. I guess the club didn't buy Neymar for just his on-the-pitch performance but for commercial and advertisement purposes. He was bought at least to attract more fans and investors to the Saudi League.

I also saw Neymar with the extra pounds he gained. I think Al Hilal officials will ask Neymar to follow a strict diet after these images. They have to get a return on the investment made with such high amounts of money. Otherwise, it could be one of the most unsuccessful transfers in the club's history.

He will not go to the Brazilian national team, because he is now in rehab after an injury, and it would be stupid if he should miss the first few matches for Al-Hilal but go to play games for the national team. In addition, he will need some time to adapt in a new country and in a new championship, so he don't needs extra flights now. No one is safe from injuries, but Neymar is still a relatively young player, so he should recover quickly, especially since the injury is not serious.

In the long term, Neymar is a big hope for Al Hilal to be able to dominate all Saudi football competitions, but in the near future, Al Hilal cannot hope too much for Neymar, who is in a bad condition due to injury.
Al Hilal dared to decide to buy Neymar from PSG with the aim of strengthening the team in the longer term.
Hopefully Neymar can get well soon and can give him what Al Hilal wants.

Well.. I agree that the other players are performing really well. But the point is that Al Hilal spent a huge amount of money on Neymar and he is going to miss the initial phase of this season of the Saudi Professional League. They may or may not perform well without Neymar, but the management is not going to be very happy with the situation. But then, we can't predict the injury scenarios. It can happen to anyone, given the increased workload athletes have to deal with these days. On top of that, Neymar is no longer young. He is already 31 years of age.

Neymar will be useful in the long run as it will be a short-term absence. Considering that other forwards are of good quality during this waiting period, the absence of Neymar will not cause major problems. Neymar will certainly add strength to Al Hilal when he joins the team. The evolution of the Saudi league is spectacular.

It is going to be frustrating for Al Hilal. They paid a large sum to bring Neymar to Saudi Arabia and still they need to wait for one month more to see him in action. And this season of Saudi Professional League is already underway. Absence of Neymar is going to disrupt their team balance and put increasing workload on other forwards such as Aleksandar Mitrović, Malcom, Michael and Abdullah Al-Hamdan. Last year they finished at the 3rd place, and this time they want to win trophy at any cost. But Neymar's absence is going to have a large negative impact.

It sucks that any club owns him. PSG was indeed wise to sell him to Al Hilal quickly. In addition to paying a fee of 90 million euros for PSG, Al Hilal also offered a massive salary of 260 million euros for a two-year contract with him. Not a small amount. Neymar hasn't trained yet, and I see no reason for him to focus on Brazil. Al Hilal will feel unhappy about this. Although he is recovering from his injury, no one has said he will not be injured again if the damage continues. Then, most likely, the situation will get worse. The worst thing is not being able to play anymore.

@marcous the coach has indeed confirmed his debut will be in September and on top of that since he’s been called by the Brazil coach it shows that he’ll recover by September and once he does I expect him to score lots of goals as this league is easier than the Ligue 1. Also I don’t expect him to be injured much here as the demands of this league is less hence I believe that he’ll be able to maintain his fitness and help his team win many matches.

Neymar still has an injury that hasn't been completely resolved and if Al Hilal wants to get Neymar's best skills or performance in every match at least wait until his injury can completely recover without the slightest problem, this is one of the reasons why PSG released Neymar so badly because he's been out of games more often due to injuries he's had every season.

When Neymar recovers and can play well I'm sure he can make a good contribution to Al Hilal on the front lines, because Neymar is a football star who has very good ball carrying skills and he is one of the players who is very skilled and agile in possession or carrying the ball past the opponent's defense.

When I saw the news I was surprised as well because Hakim Ziyech injuries doesn't prevent him from playing but just that he doesn't get starting call up and that could be because he hasn't giving the managers enough reasons to start him but occasion he gets sub on and puts on a good performance but Neymar injury doesn't allow him to play so why then does Neymar pass the medical but Hakim Ziyech doesn't pass. I think what's happening here is the case of one player getting the fame privilege because Neymar will bring more money and fame to the league similar to Ronaldo as he's a global stars and from a country (Brazil) that has lost of football fans and he's one of the favorite but Hakim Ziyech is just an average European player from Africa so he doesn't get any favoritism.


The rumors are true because you can't have an experience player on your side and not expect him to always bail the club out of problem especially when that's what his reputation is built on and also receiving the kind of special treatment and salary they're receiving. Other teammates will expect the extra effort from them but they're humans and can't deliver every game as they're now old and not as young as when they were dominating Europe. The coach has to try another formation and bring on players that are hungry to pay and not those feeling it isn't their job to go the extra miles for the team. Al Nassr losing is a bad publicity for the branding of Ronaldo and something has to be done to improve the squad of Al Nassr, I don't think they're very active in the transfer window like other Saudi clubs.

I am guessing that it is going to take a few more games until they all adjust, plus the manager is a new one as well as far as I can remember, so even the players that used to be there last year will end up with some trouble. I think the fact that they won the cup is definitely a big deal, a big story to talk about, but looking at their current situation I would have to say they do not look like a good team at the league.

If it's a new game and new players, it's new season for other teams they lose to as well and they still managed to win. Adjustment period is true and they will play better that's true, but other teams had adjustment periods as well. Lets wait, if they are still not good a month later, then it's going to be horrible.

Hahahaha yes this its one big thing to follow about Neymar, are we gonna see so much partys, and excuse of injury he is gonna make? I think yes and i also think this its not gonna end well between him and the jeques from Saudi Arabia.

If he was undiscipline in europe imagine here.

It could be that the recovery period for Neymar injury went fast, or there is a possibility that the club is trying to quell the disappointment of fans seeing that Neymar's debut took too long. I also read the news that Neymar has also been called up by the Brazilian national team for the World Cup qualifiers in September. Coach Al Hilal said that he was surprised by Neymar's summons to the national team, because for now as far as he knows Neymar is recovering.

So far Neymar has been sidelined for more than six months, I doubt Neymar will be able to recover in the next month if I see Coach Al Hilal reaction.
