Dark clouds seem to have surrounded Neymar Jr’s life. Only two months after his return from a four-month-long injury in August, the Brazilian superstar found himself in a dire situation. He was once again carried off the field on a stretcher during Brazil’s 2-0 loss against Uruguay. This time, it appears he’ll be sidelined for a significant part of the remaining season. In the wake of his latest injury setback, Al Hilal conveyed a heartfelt message to Neymar, in an attempt to boost his confidence and morale.

Already, some revered names in soccer like Lionel Messi have extended their support to the Al Hilal star. The Brazilian soccer icon’s  58-year-old father was also quick to pen a motivational message.
