He only managed to play five games for Al Hilal this season, which was his first year with the club since joining last summer from PSG.

Neymar on missing football

Although Neymar has enjoyed his time off, he admits that he misses football a lot. Neymar said, "Firstly, I want to return to playing which is the most important. I miss it a lot. These months have been really hard. It’s not an easy injury where you just do the surgery, recover & you’re done. It’s more mental than everything. I had to prepare myself a lot mentally to continue with the will & desire to play. I think that’s the most important thing I think about at the moment, not the titles, the wins, the goals but yes in recovering as fast as possible and playing again.
