Uruguay defeated Brazil 2-0 in the World Cup qualifier. This also meant that Brazil could only manage 1 point in the 2 matches this international break. Neymar had to sadly leave on a stretcher in the 44th minute after the injury to his left knee. He was also seen leaving after the game on crutches. Now, the Al Hilal star has shared his first words on social media after the loss and his tragic injury.
On social media Neymar wrote, “This was the verse I put before the match. In his heart, a man plans his way But the lord determines his steps. Proverbs 16:9. God knows everything. All honor and glory are always yours, my God, regardless of everything. I have faith”. Neymar will now surely hope that he does not require another operation on his body. Brazil has already struggled without Neymar on the pitch despite his recent poor performances. But, the biggest problem now arises for Al Hilal. This is because of their busy schedule. Does Al Hilal have the squad depth for the next busy months to manage without their star player?

Al Hilal has a very busy schedule in the next 9 days. The Saudi club will play 3 games in the next 9 days. The traveling and the tight schedule are likely to put pressure on the team. Al Hilal is currently at the top of the Saudi Pro League table. They are also on top of their group in the AFC Champions League. Undoubtedly, having someone like Neymar available would have given them a fair advantage over their opponents.
Neymar was in great form for Al Hilal before the international break. After getting fit from his injury at PSG, the Brazilian made a positive impact on the link-up play. He also scored his first goal for the club. Therefore, it is a big setback for Al Hilal’s medical team which worked hard on getting him fit for the season. They will now have to rework again on his recovery.
