The upcoming season is quickly approaching, and many are wondering when Neymar will return to a football pitch again. The last time football fans got to see Neymar play was last October when he was playing with the Brazilian national team. The Brazilian legend suffered an ACL injury against Uruguay in a World Cup qualification match. The Brazilian legend's return is very anticipated by Brazilian and Al Hilal fans.

Al Hilal won three trophies this past season and will look to count on Neymar to continue their dominance in Saudi Arabian football. The Brazilian national team is in need of Neymar after a poor Copa America this summer. They were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Uruguay on penalties and only won one match in the competition this summer.

Neymar has been showing bits of his training sessions with his personal trainers, but now his latest training video shows him running at full speed for the first time. This is great news for his fans, and his return could be closer than ever. Neymar is expected to be fully healed by September, but his hard work could help him recover before then.

Neymar made a funny post on his Instagram story that suggests that he is very motivated to continue working out to heal as fast as possible. The Brazilian posted a picture of him riding a stationary cycling bike and wrote, "Run until you run out of problems." Neymar has been out of action for more than nine months.

Not only did Neymar start running again, but his whole training session was also under very difficult conditions. Neymar trained at Al Hilal’s training headquarters under a very high temperature in the evening. It is reported that he trained at approximately 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Neymar recovery from his left knee injury will continue, and he have to do rehab and slowly work his way to train with the rest of the Al Hilal team.

Al Hilal's preseason

Neymar will not feature in the preseason with Al Hilal, but he will look forward to seeing his team prepare for the next season. Al Hilal will play against Al Arabi, Como 1907, and Udinese. The team's first competitive match of the upcoming season is on August 13th against Al Ahli in the Saudi Super Cup semifinal.

Al Hilal could expect Neymar to rejoin them in late September, which is still early for the 2024/2025 season. Once Neymar fully recovers, he will likely play for the Brazilian national team for the 2026 South American World Cup qualifiers.

Brazil will play against Ecuador and Paraguay in early September, which are games Neymar might miss. Neymar will likely play in October when Brazil will take on Chile and Peru. Brazil is currently 6th in the World Cup qualifiers table, with seven points after six matches played.
