Neymar Drops Massive 4-Word Update Amid Injury Woes – “After Bending the Knee”

It’s the time of year to reflect and review. Al Hilal bought Neymar with the ambition to regain its glory. The most decorated club in Asia needed Neymar to give them an edge over its competitors who acquired the services of Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. But after being ruled out for months with a serious injury, the Brazilian soccer icon made a small gesture that reveals his current situation.

Al Hilal spent the most time in the Saudi Pro League’s previous historic transfer window. The club went for Neymar after being reportedly rejected by Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe. While the team missed out on securing trophies last season, will Neymar help them achieve their goal next year?

Neymar doles out crucial injury update

The Brazilian star suffered an ACL tear in the World Cup 2026 qualifiers a couple of months ago. After just playing six months for the Riyadh-based team, he now dropped an Instagram story that says, “After bending the knee”, with a slightly sad face. The story gives an impression of the pain he is undergoing.

According to medical experts, ACL injuries are one of the most common but devastating types of injuries. It is one of the ligaments that holds the knee joint together, and a tear can cause a lot of pain, which Neymar is experiencing.

The player earlier added an update saying that he was sleeping well, but after bending his knee, it hurt. The Brazilian had an injury against Uruguay, which led him off the field. The player underwent surgery at the beginning of November, but his doctors are advising a slow and long recovery.

The player is being treated in phases where the movement of the knee is first focused on. The procedure then will head to further steps like bearing weight and exercises. On the other hand, Al Hilal is still managing to get the job done without the Brazilian.

A disappointing stint at Al Hilal for Neymar

This is Neymar’s second consecutive injury. The player already missed Al Hilal’s initial matches due to an injury to his right leg in February. After recovering, Neymar could only play a handful of games for Al Hilal without making any real contributions. The player scored just one goal and three assists.

After spending over $400 million on the star, the team had to deregister the player to fill his spot in the squad. The Brazilian’s initial inclusion in the national team shocked current coach Jorje Jesus. And finally, the nightmare turned true after Al Hilal lost the player’s services for the entire season.
