VIDEO: ‘Is that Neymar?!’ - Fans urge Brazil superstar to ‘retire’ & slam him for being ‘overweight’ as he joins up with Al-Hilal training for first time since ACL injury lay-off

The 32-year-old hit back at football supporters who criticised his physique last month as he recovers from hisanterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear he suffered while on national duty with Brazilin October. Now the former Barcelona star is doing individual training work at the Saudi Pro League side, his detractors are once again lambasting the Brazilian.

NBA Memes wrote: "Neymar is on that (basketball player) James Harden diet."

Agurama JnR commented: "What happened to Neymar??"

ReecyTM tweeted: "Neymar should just retire from playing football and focus on riding horses."

UncleKeyz added: "Neymar looks like a blesser now," while Iconic Blanco did a side by side photo of Neymar at 32 versus a ripped Cristiano Ronaldo at 36.

S.J.O put: "What is happening to all Brazil legends?" and showed a side by side of ex-forward Ronaldo and Neymar.

Former Paris Saint-Germain man Neymar, who left the Ligue 1 outfit for Al-Hilal last summer in a £77.2million ($98.3m) move, is in a race against time to play some part in the Saudi Pro League season - with ACL ruptures or tears typically taking eight to 10 months to recover from. The campaign ends in late May and there is no guarantee the ex-Barcelona ace will kick a ball again this term.

Neymar, who played just five times and scored one goal for Al-Hilal before his injury, will continue to step up his rehab in the coming weeks and months. Meanwhile, his table-topping side host Al-Raed on Sunday afternoon.
