Brazilian star Neymar has struggled to make an impact since his high-profile move to the Saudi Arabian club in August 2023 as he battled with different injuries.
Despite returning to action in the AFC Champions League, Neymar's injury woes has persisted. Reports suggest he could be sidelined for up to three weeks, further hindering his progress.
With Al-Hilal currently at their maximum foreign player quota for domestic competitions, Neymar's future with the club remains uncertain. While he remains eligible for continental tournaments, his overall impact has been limited thus far.
As the January transfer window approaches, it remains to be seen whether Neymar will find a new club or continue his journey with Al-Hilal.
