WATCH THE CLIP

Neymar is on the comeback trail after rupturing his <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/neymar-al-hilal-brazil-star-acl-injury/bltb5208933103eb9f9" target="_blank">anterior cruciate ligament</a> while on international duty with Brazil last October. The forward, who swapped <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/al-hilal-confirm-90m-signing-neymar-psg/blt587c20f8af583167" target="_blank">Paris Saint-Germain for Al-Hilal</a> last summer, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/neymar-ruled-out-copa-america-2024-brazil-team-doctor-outlines-risk-al-hilal-superstar-recovery-acl-surgery/blteeec2dda2cdc2c1a" target="_blank">will not play again this season</a>, so all his efforts are going towards being fit for the 2024/25 campaign.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Neymar's Al-Hilal - who are top of the Saudi Pro League by a whopping 12 points to second-placed Al-Nassr - are next in action on Saturday evening away to Al-Shabab. They are going for a quadruple this season as they are in the AFC Champions League semi-finals, the same stage of the King Cup of Champions, and the last four of the Saudi Super Cup.
