Brazilian striker Neymar has confessed that "there are days that I want to give up" as he recovers from a severe knee injury.

The Al Hilal forward has been out of action since October after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee during international duty.

On Instagram, the 32-year-old Neymar shared insights into his recovery journey, emphasizing his determination and resilience.

He wrote: "After I suffered this injury, there are days that are difficult, there are days that I want to give up. It's hard to go through all of this.

"But here's a warrior who won't stop until I get what I want! God is my strength and my fortress. We will continue fighting every day."

Neymar has only played five games for Al Hilal since signing a two-year contract with the Saudi Pro League club in August 2023 before suffering a season-ending injury.

Brazil's all-time leading scorer missed the Copa América, which Argentina won.

Al Hilal manager Jorge Jesus recently expressed hope that Neymar could return to action in September.
