Neymar's Recovery from Knee Surgery Progressing 'Very Well', Return Date Uncertain

Brazil's team doctor reports positive progress in Neymar's recovery from a complex knee injury, but a return to play timeline remains unclear.

  • Neymar, the Al-Hilal forward, is recovering from a serious knee injury he sustained while playing for Brazil in October.
  • The injury involved a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and meniscus in his left knee, requiring surgery.
  • Brazil's team doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar, reports that Neymar is responding 'very well' to treatment, but a timeframe for his return to playing is still uncertain.
  • Neymar's injury is considered complex due to associated injuries, such as a meniscus injury, which complicates the procedure and slows the recovery period.
  • Neymar, who transferred to Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal from Paris St-Germain for 90m euros, has only played five games due to muscle injuries.
