Khi nói về 12 tháng qua trên kênh YouTube NR Sports, anh cho biết: ‘Tôi cảm thấy rất đau đớn. Vào thời điểm đó, tôi đã biết rằng mọi chuyện nghiêm trọng rồi.
‘What I want most in life is to play football. I have suffered every day I’ve been away from the pitch. This is what hurts me the most,’
‘I am focused on the most important people in my life, my family and friends, and football. I have risen every time I have been injured. But I don’t return halfway.’
He made five appearances for Al-Hilal prior to his injury, contributing one goal and three assists.
His contract at Al-Hilal is set to expire next year, although there is the option to extend by a further 12 months.
The winger made his name at Santos after coming through their academy as a youngster before breaking into the first team.
He scored 72 goals in 140 appearances and won six major honours with the club, including the Copa Libertadores in 2011.

Neymar has returned to first team training and is expected to be back on the pitch soon
His dazzling performances earned him a move to Barcelona in 2013, where he won LaLiga twice and the Champions League prior to becoming the most expensive player in the world when PSG paid £198m four years later.
Neymar has been blighted by injuries in recent years, and coming back from a lengthy lay-off in the latter stages of his career could be a tall order for the Brazilian. Yet he appears determined to prove he still has something left to offer.
Neymar Jnr may have been surprised to be greeted by a round of boos when he made an appearance at Saudi Arabia’s ‘6 Kings Slam’ tournament on Thursday night.
The football megastar joined Public Investment Fund (PIF) owned Al-Hilal in 2023 to bring an end to his Paris Saint-Germain nightmare in a £78million move that came as something of a shock.
The Brazilian forward is thought to be on eye-watering money in the Saudi Pro League and was one of the divisions biggest coups, penning a three-year deal that is reportedly set to earn him some £26m-a-year.
as one of the most famous faces in football in the last decade, he might expect to become something of an overnight celebrity in Saudi Arabia, however judging by the response to his recent appearance, the opposite would appear to be true.
After coming out onto the court at the ‘6 Kings Slam’ event, he was booed loudly from fans assembled in the 8,000-seat purpose built arena called The Venue.

Neymar was spotted catching up with Rafael Nadal – who is set to retire from tennis next month
There were even audible chants of ‘Ronaldo! Ronaldo’ with Cristiano Ronaldo being a huge success unsurprisingly in Saudi Arabia after his own move to Al-Nassr.
The Brazilian was then seen chatting to Rafael Nadal, who was beaten in straight sets 6-3 6-3 by compatriot Carlos Alcaraz in his round of the exhibition tournament.
The competition will see each competitor – Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Holger Rune, Daniil Medvedev, Alcaraz and Nadal – take home at least $1.5m (£1.15m), and the winner pocketing $6m (£4.6m), which is the largest pot in tennis history.
Nadal was making one of his final ever appearances on a tennis court, having announced his imminent retirement from the sport.
His final outing will be at the Davis Cup representing Spain in November, bringing an end to a breath-taking career as arguably the greatest to ever pick up a racket.
Despite making headlines for his decision to move to Saudi Arabia, Neymar has still only actually played three top-flight games for his new club.
In that time he did look to be settling in quickly, with three assists in as many games, however his progress was quickly halted by a serious injury.
He missed 271 days last season after being injured in his first few Al-Hilal appearances and subsequently needing to undergo corrective surgery that has required extensive rehabilitation.
