Neymar breaks down in tears and reveals ‘each day I am away is a day of suffering’ after injury hell

SOBBING Neymar revealed he has “suffered every day” after injury deprived him of his greatest love for 11 months.

The Brazil icon is eyeing a return after rupturing his ACL shortly after joining Al-Hilal and screaming in pain during rehabilitation.

Tears flowed as Neymar explained his anguish at being out for so long

And he cried as he explained how much he has missed playing.

Neymar, 32, has been linked with a shock return to Barcelona next year.

But for now he’s just relieved to be nearing full fitness again in Saudi Arabia.

The 128-cap star told his image management company NR Sports: “What I love most in life is playing football.

“I suffer with each day I stay away. This is what hurts me the most.”

Neymar swapped Paris Saint-Germain for Al-Hilal in August 2023.

But thee months later and after just five games, he hurt his knee, meaning surgery and a lengthy absence.

Looking back, Neymar said: “My arrival in Al-Hilal, the birth of my daughter – it was all adding up for a great year then this happened.

“I felt a huge pain. At that moment I knew it was serious.”

However, as Neymar gears up for his Saudi Pro League comeback, he is feeling positive again.

He said: “My focus is here.

“Most important in my life are my friends, my family, and football.

“I get back up after every time I get injured.”
