The Saudi club spoke out shortly after the statement released by the CBF. The team wished their number 10 a good recovery and stated that more details of the treatment will be released later.

It is worth remembering that Neymar left the Centenário stadium, in Montevideo, on crutches, after suffering a serious injury to his left knee. He suffered a sprain at the end of the first half of Brazil’s 2-0 defeat to Uruguay on Tuesday (17), he was substituted in the 48th minute. The number 10 left the field on a stretcher and was crying.
