Devastating ACL Injury

Shocking footage has emerged of Brazilian footballer Neymar writhing in pain as he attempts to recover from a devastating ACL injury. The 31-year-old suffered cruciate ligament and meniscus damage while playing for Brazil against Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier last month.

Undergoing Rehab

Since the injury, Neymar has undergone surgery, which could potentially rule him out for ten months. Despite this setback, he remains optimistic about his chances of making the Copa America in June. The long road to recovery has already begun, as footage shows Neymar undergoing rehab for his serious injury.

Painful Journey

In one clip, Neymar can be heard screaming, "Go back for the love of God," as doctors work on his leg. The Brazilian star's leg is strapped and taped as he conducts his rehab exercises. Despite the pain, Neymar's rehab coach encourages him to persevere, saying, "Hang in there, Ney, come on."

Financial Impact

Neymar's injury came just two months after signing a £2.5 million-a-week deal with Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal. While sidelined for the rest of the domestic campaign, he is set to earn £107 million. Before the injury, Neymar contributed one goal in five matches for Al-Hilal.

Al-Hilal's Success

Despite Neymar's absence, Al-Hilal currently sits at the top of the Saudi Pro League table, one point clear of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr. The team has been unbeaten in 13 league matches, winning 11 and drawing two.
