"Inter Miami" forward Lionel Messi supported "Al-Hilal" ahead of Neymar, who suffered a severe injury. The Argentinian published a joint photo with the Brazilian on social networks and captioned it: "I wish you a lot of strength."
It was reported that Neymar would not play again in 2023 due to the injury he received in the match against Uruguay (0:2) in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. The injury to the cruciate ligaments and a tear in the meniscus of the knee were confirmed for the Brazilian. He will have to undergo surgery and an extended treatment course.
