The sports physiotherapist Thamer Al-Shahrani has clarified why Al-Hilal superstar playmaker Neymar would still need around 4 months to return to play with The Blues.

“It is considered one of the exercises that is used only in the first stages of rehabilitation, and therefore I mentioned that Neymar may need 4 months of additional rehabilitation. Because of what has been published about the type and intensity of the exercise so far, he may perform such an exercise for several reasons, including if he feels pain in the knee, then it is a compensatory exercise for the rehabilitation exercises, but if he performs it without any other excuse or pain, then unfortunately it is of no benefit and he needs stronger exercises. I know the severity of the injury, its strength, and the difficulty of the operation, so I mentioned the time it takes, not like any other player who underwent ligament operation.“
