‘I want to give up’ – Neymar admits he is struggling

Al Hilal and Brazil striker, Neymar Jr, has admitted that there are days he feels like giving up as he recovers from a serious knee injury. Neymar has been sidelined since October after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee while on international duty.

Neymar, 32, has opened up on Instagram about his recovery process and highlighted his resilience. 

He wrote: "After I suffered this injury, there are difficult days, there are days that I want to give up. It's hard to go through all of this.

"But here's a warrior who won't stop until I get what I want! God is my strength and my fortress. We will continue fighting every day."

Neymar made just five appearances for Al Hilal since joining the Saudi Pro League giants on a two-year contract in August 2023 before sustaining the season-ending injury.

 Al Hilal manager Jorge Jesus recently said he hopes Neymar can return to action by September.
