Neymar made his comeback on Monday after more than a year of injury.

The 32-year-old Brazilian played for a little over fifteen minutes in the goal-rich match of his club Al Hilal away to Al Ain (4-5 win) in the Asian Champions League.

Neymar suffered a serious knee injury last October. In a World Cup qualifier between Brazil and Uruguay, the star left the field on a stretcher in the first half.

It was Neymar’s second injury in a short period of time, a few months before his serious knee injury, he had an ankle injury.

The attacker made his return to the training field at the end of September.
