Neymar Jr. had to be substituted just minutes after coming on in the AFC Champions League match against Esteghlal.
Neymar left the game due to an injury only minutes after entering his second match since returning from a serious injury he suffered a year ago. The Brazilian star came on in the 57th minute, but shortly after, he raised significant concerns about his fitness.
The incident occurred when Neymar Jr. attempted to receive a pass from Marcos Leonardo. Following this, Neymar grabbed his leg and signaled for a substitution.
It appears he is dealing with a minor muscle issue, not something major or serious for Al-Hilal.
However, to clarify Neymar’s situation, the Saudi club will need to release an official statement regarding his health status.
Al-Hilal’s next match is on November 26, giving the Brazilian ample time to recover.
