Al-Hilal have confirmed that Neymar will have surgery after suffering a serious knee injury during Brazil's World Cup qualifying defeat against Uruguay on Wednesday

Neymar is set to undergo surgery after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus while on international duty with Brazil.

It is unclear how long Neymar will be out for, but the ex-Barcelona forward will undoubtedly miss Al-Hilal's crunch clash against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in December. Al-Hilal are also set to face Al-Ahli, who have Roberto Firmino and Riyad Mahrez among others in their armoury, later this month.

Al-Hilal are currently top of the Saudi Pro League, having picked up seven wins and two draws from their nine matches so far. They are the one current unbeaten side in the division and also boast the likes of Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and Aleksandar Mitrovic in their squad.
