Neymar Jr. was injured while playing for Brazil in October last year. As a result, he had to spend almost the entire time of the last season outside the field. Apart from this, Neymar had to sit and watch Brazil's game at the recently concluded Copa America Stadium.
However, leaving the bad times behind, Neymar joined the Saudi club Al Hilal. The Brazilian star described the entire process of recovering from the injury through a post on his Instagram. He also said that he wanted to give up football.
Neymar wrote in the post, 'I have had very difficult days after the injury. It's been a long time since I thought of giving up on football. Because it's impossible to move forward in such a difficult situation.
Neymar signed a 2-year contract with Al Hilal from PSG in August last year. After that, he got the opportunity to play only 5 matches in the jersey of the Saudi club. After that, he got injured for a long time during the break of international football.
Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus recently said about Neymar, 'I am hopeful that we will have Neymar in our midst from next September.'

New Zealand Script History with a Test Win in India after 36 Years
New Zealand on Sunday registered a historic Test win in India after 36 years as they beat the hosts by eight wickets in the first Test at Bengaluru in a rain-curtailed match.
Chasing a modest total of 107 to win, New Zealand started the day on a bad note, losing a wicket of the second ball. However, Will Young battled a stunning spell of fast bowling from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj to remain unbeaten on 48. Rachin Ravindra followed up his first innings century with 39 not out off just 46 balls. Rachin Ravindra was named the man of the match.
India losing all ten wickets for 46 runs in their first innings and seven wickets for 54 runs in the second innings spelled doom for Rohit Sharma's men.
For India, Bumrah took both the wickets, while Siraj and Jadeja bowled well but were unlucky to not find any success. Premier off-spinner R Ashwin surprisingly bowled only two overs.
The last time New Zealand won a Test match in India was in 1988 when they won by 136 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
The win in Bengaluru on Sunday is only the third time New Zealand has managed to win a Test match in India.
The last time New Zealand played a series in India, India won the two-Test match series 1-0 in 2021.
The second India vs New Zealand Test match begins in Pune on October 24.
Brief scores: India 46 & 462 in 99.3 overs (Sarfaraz Khan 150, Rishabh Pant 99, Virat Kohli 70, Rohit Sharma 52, William O’Rourke 3/92, Matt Henry 3/102, Ajaz Patel 2/100) lost to New Zealand 402 & 110/2 in 27.4 overs (Will Young 48*, Rachin Ravindra 39*, Jasprit Bumrah 2/29).

Neymar Set to Return for Al Hilal after Long Injury Layoff
Brazilian forward Neymar Jr is set to make his return from a yearlong injury layoff after training and traveling with his club Al Hilal before their Asian Champions League game in the United Arab Emirates, the Saudi Pro League club has confirmed. Al Jazeera news.
"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.
Neymar's agency said the Brazilian's love for football and his hope to play in the FIFA World Cup 2026 was bringing him back to action.
"These were days of pain, anguish, and a lot of longing for football, which were overcome with the help of family and friends, always present for our number 10. And all the fans around the world who gave him all support in social media networks," the statement added.
"The wait is over."
"Every time I get injured, I come back. But I don't come back halfway," a tearful Neymar said in a social media video of him speaking about his recovery with footage of his efforts to come back.
Neymar returned to training in July, but in September his club coach Jorge Jesus dampened expectations of an immediate comeback.
The Portuguese coach did not confirm Neymar will play on Monday.
Neymar, whose two-year contract ends next August, is eligible to appear in AFC Champions League Elite matches as the continental competition has no restrictions on the number of foreign players allowed. That is not the case in the Saudi Pro League, which will see him back only in January.
If fit, Neymar could return to Brazil's national team in two rounds of South American World Cup qualifying scheduled for November.
