Neymar continues his recovery from a serious knee injury that occurred in October 2023 during a match against Uruguay in the World Cup qualifiers. The Brazilian star was the major signing for Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, but he has barely been able to play for his new team.
The rehabilitation process will make him miss the 2024 Copa America in the United States, so the player will have to wait until practically August for his official return towards the next season of the Saudi Pro League.
However, being away from the playing field, Neymar has had time to focus on other projects and attend special events. For instance, a few weeks ago, he was at the Bahrain Grand Prix where he confirmed his desire to play with Lionel Messi.
Now, a new adventure is ready for Ney as it has been confirmed that he will participate in the renowned Kings League, a project that has been promoted globally by Gerard Pique.
