Rúben Neves' Rapid Progression in the Al Hilal Attack
Updated:2026-01-20 06:32 Views:56Rúben Neves, the former striker for Liverpool and Chelsea, has revealed that he is currently recovering from his ankle injury sustained during the Al-Hilal match against Al-Fateh in the Saudi Premier League.
Neves said: "I have been out for a few weeks now but I am still training regularly and hope to be fit enough to play again soon."
The 28-year-old has been a key player for Al-Hilal in recent years, scoring 15 goals in 27 league matches last season and helping them win the league title. However, injuries have hampered his form in recent campaigns and he will need to be cautious as he looks to recover fully before returning to action.
Neves' recovery from his ankle injury was not easy and he had to undergo surgery to repair the damage. The process took several months and it was not until late last year that he could return to full fitness.
However, despite the setback, Neves remains confident that he can continue playing at a high level once he is back on the pitch. He added: "I'm just focused on getting better and hopefully I'll be able to play well again."
