Neymar suffered a bad injury against Uruguay and medical staff had to take him off the pitch on a stretcher. The Brazilian also had his head in his hands indicating that he was in some serious discomfort. He was also seen leaving after the game on crutches. However, the Brazilian staff are yet to determine the recovery timeline of the injury. But, amid the injury blow, they are set to receive a huge compensation.

According to reports, Al Hilal could receive a maximum of about $8 million from FIFA as Neymar’s injury happened on international duty.  The clause will however be applicable on one condition, i.e. if it lasts for more than 28 days. From the looks of it, the injury is likely to take quite some time to heal. This will definitely soften some of the blow for the Saudi side. However, not all of it. It is because a fit Neymar could have helped Al Hilal oversee the busy schedule for the remaining month. The Saudi club are going to play 3 games in the next 9 days.

The injury to Neymar during the international break will frustrate Al Hilal very much. This is also because they had just got a fit Neymar to play in some of the games before the break. Al Hilal will now have to again go back to the drawing board and rethink their strategy without the Brazilian.
