I won’t stop until I get what I want – Neymar vows to come back stronger from ACL injury

Al Hilal forward Neymar has promised to come back stronger after suffering a serious ACL injury. Neymar admitted there have been days when he wanted to give up after suffering the knee injury back in October 2023. 

Neymar was sidelined last year after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee while playing for Brazil.

Neymar, 32, has opened up on Instagram about his recovery process and highlighted his resilience. He wrote: “After I suffered this injury, there are days that are difficult, there are days that I want to give up. It’s hard to go through all of this.

“But here’s a warrior who won’t stop until I get what I want! God is my strength and my fortress. We will continue fighting every day.”

The Brazilian striker played only five matches for the Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal after signing a two-year contract in August 2023 .

On the other hand, Al Hilal manager Jorge Jesus is hopeful that Neymar could return to action in September for SPL 2023-24 champions.

“The [recovery] time they give Neymar, in an injury like this, is normally between 10 and 11 months,” Jorge Jesus said. “Neymar will not be operational at the start of next season. We think that in September, October, he may be in a position to compete.”

The Portuguese manager said he is in talks to sign a contract extension with the club.

“First I will settle the contract with the board and then that [team planning for next season] will come,” he said. “But I confirm that we are in constant discussions about the players.”
