Neymar is available for Al-Hilal in an AFC Champions League Elite match next week after a year-long recovery from an ACL injury.

When Sofie Lundgaard went down with a torn anterior cruciate ligament earlier this month, the Liverpool midfielder joined an alarming list of Women's Super League players to suffer the devastating knee injury -- barely four weeks into the season.

Neymar is available to play for Saudi Arabia club Al-Hilal in an AFC Champions League Elite match next week after one year on the sidelines due to injury. His marketing company NR Sports said in a statement on Saturday that the Brazilian's love for soccer and his hope to play in the next World Cup were bringing him back to action.

With fans waiting for his return to the pitch, Neymar opened up about his feeling after being sidelined for over a year due to his knee injury. It hasn’t been an easy year for Neymar Jr., as he shared recently.
