Al-Hilal’s Brazilian star in the Saudi Arabian League, Neymar Jr., is very close to returning to the pitch, having almost recovered from the cruciate ligament tear he suffered at the beginning of last season.
A video posted on social media by Al-Hilal showed Neymar trying to get back to his best form, although from what we can see in the clip it seems that the serious injury has not affected him in any way.
In a practice of shooting at goal from outside the area, the former FC Barcelona player appears shooting from both the right and the left and ended up scoring a goal in each shot.
In fact, Neymar showed his joy at being in the final phase of his return by celebrating every time he managed to put the ball in the goal.
He had previously been seen celebrating in uniform during the Saudi Arabia Super Cup, which the Arab team won against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.
Despite the video posted on social media, it is unknown when Neymar will be called up to Al-Hilal again, but at least the wait for his return is very close to being over.
