Neymar has shared a heart-rending video of his recovery process from an ACL injury, and the Brazilian was seen groaning in pain.

The 31-year-old sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury on October 18, 2023, whilst on international duty with Brazil.

Neymar has found it hard to walk on crutches, as he still feels excruciating pain months after the injury.

The former Barcelona winger suffered the unfortunate injury just a few months after he penned a staggering deal with Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.


Al Hilal signed Neymar from Paris Saint Germain on August 15, 2023, for a fee of €90 million.

The all-time top scorer of Brazil earns about €150 million yearly in Saudi Arabia, a gigantic amount by any estimation.

However, he wasn't able to deliver up to expectations before the injury, as he made 5 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 3 assists in all competitions.

Weeks before he was hit with the injury, he appeared like he was getting back to form, as he was on target for Al Hilal in their Asian Champions League encounter against Nassaji on October 3, 2023.

Neymar has been ruled out for the entirety of the 2023/24 season, and his doctors have also indicated that he will likely not be available for Brazil in the 2024 Copa America.

The Brazilian's recovery process has been grueling and as expected painful, given the nature of the injury he suffered.


Previously, Neymar put out a video of him screaming in pain when he first began his rehabilitation process following surgery.

Recently, the 31-year-old also shared a video where he was struggling to walk even with the assistance provided by crutches.

The ex-Santos forward then hobbles below a flight of steps before progressing to the treatment table.

While he was receiving treatment on the table, Neymar could be heard screaming and crying while physios assisted him in getting back to top shape.

The forward has battled several injuries in the past couple of years, and that can be pointed towards, as a factor that affected his time at Paris Saint Germain.

Neymar arrived with much fanfare to Paris, but he couldn't reach the heights and expectations heaped on his shoulders.

He scored 118 goals and provided 77 assists in 173 appearances across all competitions for Paris Saint Germain.

The 31-year-old got his big break into European football with Spanish giants Barcelona, having joined the club from Santos on July 1, 2013, for a fee of €88 million.

Neymar scored 105 goals and provided 76 assists in 186 appearances across all competitions for the Blaugrana side.

Internationally, as aforementioned, he is the top scorer of the Brazilian national team, with 79 goals and 59 assists in 128 appearances.
