Al-Hilal considers removing Neymar from squad due to injury

Saudi club Al-Hilal is reportedly considering removing Neymar from their squad for the remainder of the season.

The Brazilian star, who joined Al-Hilal from PSG in a £78m deal, sustained a serious knee injury last month while playing for Brazil.

Tests revealed a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee, leading Al-Hilal to explore the option of temporarily suspending his registration due to SPL rules allowing only eight non-Saudi players in the squad.

Neymar will likely be excluded until he recovers, allowing room for potential reinforcements, including a foreign left-back, in January.
