Neymar has asked club Al-Hilal to be operated on by a surgeon he trusts and to do the first part of his rehabilitation in his home country.

Neymar injured his anterior cruciate ligament earlier this month during Brazil’s 2-0 defeat to Uruguay.

Neymar’s 10 month lay-off means the striker will almost certainly be out for next summer’s Copa America taking place in the United States.
