Neymar back in training after year-long absence

Neymar makes is long-awaited comeback to the training ground after a year-long period on the sidelines due to a serious injury. The Brazilian was back to training with Al Hilal on Sunday, sharing his delight with fans on social media. 

"I'm happy to be back with the group," said the Al Hilal striker with post showing him on the training field.

His return to the pitch - revealed a source from Al Hilal to 'AFP' - will depend "on his technical preparation, as well as on the head coach's decision", which indicated that he is not expected back anytime soon. 

It could be long until Neymar, who was not included in the club's squad list for the Saudi Pro League, is back to playing football, as the player's cruciate injury - suffered in his last game on the 18th of October with Brazil - will need time to fully recover.
