The Brazilian’s marketing company NR Sports has said that two factors – mainly his love for the game and the next FIFA World Cup are bringing him back to action.
“Though there’s no final decision for his return, the number 10 will be able to play on Monday to carry on with his remarkable trajectory,” the statement said, in a reference to Al-Hilal’s match against Al-Ain of the United Arab Emirates.

Neymar had signed for the Riyadh team in August 2023, however, he played only five matches before undergoing surgery for rupturing his meniscus and anterior ligament in his left knee whilst playing for Brazil in October.
“These were days of pain, anguish, and a lot of longing for soccer, which were overcome with the help of family and friends, always present for our number 10. And all the fans around the world who gave him all support in social media networks,” the statement added. “The wait is over.”

Neymar, whose two-year contract ends next August, is eligible to appear in AFC Champions League Elite matches as the continental competition has no restrictions on the number of foreign players allowed. That is not the case in the Saudi Pro League, which will see him back only in January.
If fit, Neymar could return to Brazil’s national team in two rounds of South American World Cup qualifying scheduled for November.
