In the wake of his latest injury setback, Al Hilal conveyed a heartfelt message to Neymar, in an attempt to boost his confidence and morale.

Already, some revered names in soccer like Lionel Messi have extended their support to the Al Hilal star. The Brazilian soccer icon’s  58-year-old father was also quick to pen a motivational message.
