Brazilian striker Neymar had to be substituted due to injury after only playing less than half an hour of the match on the fourth day of the Asian Champions League in which his team, Saudi Al-Hilal, won 3-0 against Iranian Esteghlal with a hat trick from Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The Brazilian entered the field in the 58th minute to replace Nasser Al Dawsari, but in the 87th minute he had to leave the field with discomfort in the front part of his left thigh and gestures of pain. He was replaced by Mohammed Al Qahtani to play the final minutes.
Neymar returned to the playing fields on October 21 after overcoming the serious knee injury that kept him out for a year. It was also in the Asian Champions League against Al Ain of the United Arab Emirates.
The Brazilian suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and a meniscus in his left leg in the match that the Brazilian team played on October 17, 2023 with Uruguay.
After the match, Neymar published a message on his social networks about the discomfort he suffered: “I felt like it was a cramp, but very strong. I’ll have tests done and I hope it’s nothing serious. It is normal for this to happen after a year. The doctors had already warned me. That’s why I have to be careful.”
