The Brazilian forward, who hasn’t played since getting injured on October 17th against Uruguay, plans to return for the 2024/25 pre-season.

He landed in Abu Dhabi two days before the final, attended the last training session, and praised coach Jorge Jesus for his winning streak. Neymar expressed his desire to get back on the field before the Super Cup kicked off.

Al-Hilal defeated Al-Ittihad 4-1 in the Super Cup final for their 34th win. Next, they face Al-Ain in the Asian Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday.
