Neymar's new return date that excites fans, the action Al Hilal takes that hints when Ney will come back to football

Many Brazilian fans have been wanting to know when Neymar will come back to play football after he suffered an ACL injury back in October. His injury caused him to miss the majority of the season with Al Hilal in his debut season. Neymar's return is very anticipated, as the Brazilian fans and the Al Hilal fans want him back. Brazil fans were very disappointed with the national team's performance in the Copa America 2024. Neymar is expected to be back soon, and Al Hilal is already planning to be ready to let him play in a few months. Reports in Saudi Arabia suggest that Al Hilal will not wait until January to register Neymar, who will return in September. They also report that Neymar may not participate in the first month and a half of the start of the season, but he will start participating gradually until he is fully ready and fit. Neymar has been training on his own and has started to run, which is a great sign for fans.
