Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal made a substantial move last night by choosing to suspend Neymar Jr.’s registration temporarily. They have ruled the player out for the rest of the season, and the team is preparing to bring a replacement to fill in the spot. However, despite their tough choice, it seems like Neymar has come to terms with their decision. The player shared an Instagram story before Al-Hilal’s recent game to share a three-word message for his teammates.

The Brazilian suffered an ACL injury last month that has taken him out for the rest of the season. Al-Hilal, following the injury, has decided to bring another overseas player during the winter transfer window. It will be fascinating to see if the side acquires a temporary replacement on a short-term loan.

The team is reportedly scouting for a left-back who can strengthen their defense. The side looks at some prominent names and could sanction a move during the winter transfer window. Al-Hilal will, however, need an extra registration slot and thus has decided to vacate Neymar’s spot for the rest of the season.
