Jesus: Neymar's inclusion in Al Hilal's list is not a maneuver, and he may participate

Al Hilal's Portuguese coach, Jorge Jesus, revealed the reason for including Brazilian Neymar da Silva in the team's roster that will play against Al Ain, UAE, in the AFC Elite Champions League, tomorrow, Monday.

Al Hilal is preparing to meet its host Al Ain in the framework of the third round of the league stage in the AFC Champions League Elite Championship.

Jesus said in the press conference: “Neymar’s presence in the match list.” It is not a maneuver, as the player completed a full year of absence a few days ago.”

Jesus continued: “Neymar is currently in the process of recovering his physical aspect, and step by step he will return while mentally accepting the principle.” Do not put pressure or rush on his return.”

He continued, saying: “Including Neymar in Al Hilal’s roster for the Al Ain match is certainly not a maneuver, but rather in order to bring him into the atmosphere of the matches, if the opportunity arises for him.” He will participate.”

Neymar returns to Al Hilal’s roster again after a period of absence that extended for a full year since he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury while with the Brazilian national team, in October 2023.
