With Brazilian star Neymar picking up another injury, his future at Al Hilal is now reportedly in doubt.
The former Paris Saint-Germain star recently returned to action after being side-lined for over a year due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and a meniscus injury in his left leg.

He appeared for the side in an AFC Champions League clash against United Arab Emirates outfit Al Ain last month.
However, the player cannot compete in the Saudi Pro league as he was not registered, and he can only do so in January.
But after coming on as a substitute in the side's 3-0 victory over Pitso Mosimane's Esteghlal FC on Monday night, the Brazil international was forced off the field with another injury.
The club then came out to announce that the player underwent scans, which revealed that he had suffered a tear in his hamstring.
As a result, the former FC Barcelona star will miss another four to six weeks of action as he undergoes a rehabilitation program.
The attacker's injury problems have now led Al Hilal to consider the option of terminating the 32-year-old's contract in January, as opposed to registering him for the league season, according to UOL per PSG Talk.
It has been claimed that the side's hierarchy are searching for an "amicable resolution", and are said to be monitoring his progress before coming to a decision.
It is believed that the Saudi outfit are thinking about releasing him in order to free up a place in the squad for another foreign player.
