Neymar speaks out after injury, leaves open possibility of reuniting with Messi

During his time on the pitch, Neymar played hard. He had a dangerous shot, but was blocked by his opponent. The 32-year-old Brazilian star was given a lot of balls by his teammates to demonstrate his excellent skills. But this caused him to be constantly followed and blocked by Esteghlal FC defenders. In such a situation, Neymar was affected and injured.

Neymar was very disappointed: "I feel like I have a cramp but very strong! I will go to the doctor and hope it is nothing more than that. This happens after a year of rest and just coming back is normal, the doctors have warned me. This is why I need to be careful and gradually play more minutes."

Neymar disappointed with injury again

Al Hilal FC said they will assess Neymar's latest injury and hope he will not be out for as long as before. Neymar is not registered to play in the Saudi Pro League (Saudi Arabia) season 2024 - 2025 until the end of the first leg. He will only play in the AFC Champions League, after the match against Esteghlal FC, the remaining 2 matches in 2024 against Al Sadd and Al Gharafa (both from Qatar) on November 26 and December 3 respectively.

Neymar hopes he won't be seriously injured and out for too long like before.

Before Neymar entered and left the field, Al Hilal had already settled the match when they led Esteghlal FC with a score of 3-0 thanks to striker Mitrovic scoring hat-tricks in the 15th, 33rd and 74th minutes. Al Hilal is currently leading the AFC Champions League rankings, the highest level of Asian football, with 12 points after 4 wins.

Therefore, with the latest injury, Neymar's ability to play the remaining 2 matches in 2024 is uncertain. Previously, he was not called up to the Brazilian team to prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in November. Coach Dorival Junior said that he will consider the possibility of calling Neymar back in March 2025 when he is truly ready and has fully recovered from his injury.

The prospect of the MSN trio (Messi, Suarez, Neymar) reuniting at Inter Miami is increasingly strengthened.

Neymar's contract with Al Hilal only expires in June 2025. There have been many rumors that he will leave the team that is also leading the Saudi Pro League, with the possibility of returning to Brazil to play for Santos or to the US with Inter Miami to reunite with Messi and Suarez.

Regarding the possibility of Neymar going to the US, Inter Miami coach Tata Martino has just spoken out: "The club has recruited Messi, Suarez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets, so there is no reason to prevent Neymar from being able to reunite with his former teammates. The team's leadership may be considering that.

However, we will have problems with the salary cap barrier to recruit Neymar. The regulations in MLS (Major League Soccer) are very strict. I hope that MLS will change some strict regulations, so that clubs can recruit top stars."
