Al Hilal 'Make' Big Neymar Decision

Al Hilal 'Make' Big Neymar Decision

Neymar has reportedly been included in Al Hilal's AFC Champions League squad despite his fitness issues.

Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal have reportedly made a big decision on Neymar, who has played only five matches since his arrival last year.

According to Saudi newspaper Al Riyadhiyah, the 32-year-old has been included in the team's AFC Champions League squad for the season. 

This comes amid reports Neymar's return to action could be delayed once again after he suffered yet another setback in his recovery. 

The Brazil international has been sidelined since an injury he picked up on international duty in October last year.

Neymar made only five appearances for Al Hilal, the eventual 2023/24 SPL champions, prior to being ruled out for the remainder of that campaign. 

It is claimed the Saudi giants included all nine foreign players in their Champions League squad list, with Neymar reported to have missed out on registration for the league season. 

This is said to be due to Saudi clubs only being able to register eight foreigners.

Changes, however, can be made halfway into the campaign.

Al Hilal, along with the other teams competing in the continental competition, are able to make amendments to their Champions League squads until five days before their first match.
