**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia** – Just weeks after his return from a 12-month absence due to a torn ACL, Brazilian superstar Neymar has picked up another injury. The forward, who came on as a substitute for Al-Hilal in their 3-0 AFC Champions League Elite win over Esteghlal of Iran, was forced off the pitch in the 87th minute after appearing to pull his right leg while stretching for the ball in the penalty area.

This latest setback comes as a major blow for both Al-Hilal and Brazil. Al-Hilal, who were already cautious about Neymar’s return, had planned to slowly integrate him back into the team. Meanwhile, Brazil had left him out of their recent World Cup qualifiers, wanting to avoid rushing his return to the national team.

Despite Neymar’s injury, Al-Hilal secured a comfortable victory thanks to a hat-trick from Aleksandar Mitrovic. The win puts them at the top of the league phase table of the Asian Champions League.

Neymar’s latest injury is sure to raise concerns about his fitness and ability to make a full recovery. Brazil, who are currently fourth in their World Cup qualifying group, will be hoping that Neymar can return to full fitness soon.
