"Al Hilal is happy to announce that Neymar will join the squad for the away trip to Al Ain. He's back," the club said on Saturday.
"Neymar participated in team training after completing his recovery program," Al Hilal posted on their social media.
Earlier, Neymar's marketing company NR Sports also confirmed his potential return in Monday's Asian Football Confederation's (AFC) Champions League Elite match.
"The number 10 will be able to play on Monday to carry on with his remarkable trajectory," the statement said, in a reference to the match.
Photos posted by Al Hilal showed Neymar taking part in a team training session and joining the Al Hilal squad for their trip to the UAE for their match against the UAE Pro League club.
The 32-year-old Brazil forward has not played since sustaining the injury during his nation's CONMEBOL World Cup qualifier against Uruguay in October last year.
He suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and underwent surgery in November.
The former Barcelona forward, who is Brazil's leading scorer, missed their 2024 Copa America campaign in the United States, where they suffered a second straight quarterfinal exit from a major tournament after losing to Croatia on penalties at the 2022 World Cup.
They play Al Ain at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium on Monday.

If fit, Neymar could return to Brazil's national team in two rounds of South American World Cup qualifying scheduled for November.

Najmul Hossain Shanto To Step Down As Bangladesh Captain
Bangladesh's all-format captain Najmul Hossain Shanto is likely to step down from the leadership role after the conclusion of the ongoing home Test series against South Africa.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board appointed Najmul as captain across formats for a year in February 2024, with plans for him to lead the team in the Champions Trophy next year. However, Najmul has informed the board of his decision to step down and is awaiting approval from board president Faruque Ahmed, who is currently abroad and expected to return soon.
A senior BCB director is attempting to persuade Najmul to reconsider his decision to step down as captain, though a reversal appears unlikely at this point, the report said. Following the 2024 T20 World Cup, Najmul initially planned to resign from T20 captaincy but later decided to quit as captain across all formats.
