Neymar suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee during Brazil’s loss to Uruguay in South America’s World Cup qualifier and underwent surgery on November 2.

“We need him to focus on his recovery. “He showed from the very beginning that he follows what we offer,” the doctor said.
Lasmar, who is in charge of the surgery, said it was not yet possible to set a deadline for the Saudi Arabian Al-Hilal player’s return to the playing field.
Neymar signed for the Saudi League in August for €90 million, but the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain man played just five games for Al Hilal due to muscle injuries.
