Video: Neymar screaming in pain as he put in work to recover from ACL injury

In October, during a World Cup qualifier against Uruguay, Neymar suffered a horrific injury that would keep him out for months.

The ex-PSG star suffered meniscus and cruciate ligament damage, necessitating surgery that might keep him out for up to 10 months.

 Neymar is still hoping to play in the Copa America in June, even though he will probably miss the rest of the Saudi Pro League season.

Neymar's early phases of recovery are captured in a recent video, which includes scenes of him in excruciating pain while receiving care.

According to reports from Daily Mail, Neymar is heard in the video wailing in pain and pleading with the medical professionals to proceed with caution while treating him.

Neymar is motivated to regain his fitness despite the difficult healing process; his rehab coach can be heard encouraging him in the background of the video.

The video was posted by Zaaz on X with an update on Neymar's progress. The Update on Neymar's injury progress says, “He is working hard on increasing knee mobility and strength of operated leg.

“This will take approx 2 months. Then will focus on the rest of the musculature. Al Hilal's medical team are pleased with his progress so far but will go step by step.”

Just two months had passed since Neymar signed a lucrative £2.5 million-per-week contract with Al-Hilal, a Saudi Arabian club.
