Brazilian Neymar da Silva, Al Hilal club player, spoke about the date of his return from the cruciate ligament tear he suffered last October.

Neymar said in statements published by Al-Youm Saudi newspaper: “I want to return quickly, but I will not return before I am 100% ready, and I do not want to rush to return.”

He added: “There is no date.” My return to the field may be in September, but I cannot confirm that, but I do not want to return to participate without being 100% ready, even if that takes 5, 10 months, or a year, because it is more important that I return completely ready.”

Neymar continued: “I suffered from pain in the first three months after my injury and I had some bad thoughts about not being able to play again, but I succeeded in overcoming that thanks to my family and friends.” If it were not for them, I would have stopped football, because what I felt was not easy at all.”
