Brazil's international Neymar made his return to the field for the first time in 12 months, tonight, during Al Hilal's game against Al Ain in the AFC Champions League fixture.
The 32-year-old was sidelined due to an ACL tear in his left knee while playing for Brazil in October 2023.
He made only five appearances for Al Hilal before getting the injury.
Neymar said after Al Hilal's 5-4 victory over Al Ain: “I feel good — it’s (been) so hard."
He added: “I always have a good team. But I’m so happy. I’m back, I’m back.”
Al Hilal’s victory drove the Riyadh-based club's team to the top of the AFC Champions League West standings with three wins.
