Neymar Junior has sustained a new injury as he was forced off during Al-Hilal’s AFC Champions League Elite win over Esteghlal.

Aleksandar Mitrovic plundered a hat-trick during the clash on Monday night to seal a 3-0 win.

But Al-Hilal’s victory was sourced by an injury to Neymar, who had to play just 29 minutes after coming as a substitute in the second half.

The Brazilian, who had just returned from over a year of action, following a serious knee injury, was then forced off with what appeared to be a thigh issue.

Indeed, Monday’s appearance was only the 32-year-old’s second game for Al-Hilal since his comeback.

Now he has featured just seven times for the Saudi Pro League Champions in all competitions since he moved from Paris Saint-Germain in 2023.
