Neymar Jr. 'breaks down' as he recalls the 'ordeal' he endured during his recovery

Neymar Jr. has put an end to his long ordeal. The Brazilian star, who has not set foot on the pitch for a year due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee, has left his physical problems behind and his return to the pitch is just around the corner.

Neymar Jr. 'breaks down' as he recalls his serious injury

In an emotional statement to the 'NR Sports' agency, the Al-Hilal player tearfully recalled the event that kept him off the pitch for 12 months. "I felt enormous pain and I already knew it was serious," he confessed. However, the attacker went through his recovery process with the aim of coming back even stronger. "What I love most in life is playing football. I suffer every day that I can't do it. That's what hurts the most," he added.

This return could take place next Monday, October 21, in the duel between his team and Al-Ain in the Asian Champions League, and the last words of 'Ney' invite us to get excited about being able to see again the best version of one of the great 'magicians' of this sport. "The most important people in my life, my friends, my family and football. Every time I get hurt, I come back. But I don't come back halfway. And I won't give up," he concluded.
