Fans could not believe the photo Al-Hilal used to wish Neymar a speedy recovery from his ACL injury

The Brazil national team’s worst fears were realized on Wednesday when medical tests confirmed that star forward Neymar had suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in a World Cup qualifying loss out of CONMEBOL against Uruguay.

Neymar, who turns 32 in February, suffered the non-contact injury in first-half stoppage time after a tackle attempt led to an awkward step with possession. Neymar immediately went down in pain, and there was clear concern about the seriousness of the injury.

Over in Saudi Arabia, Neymar’s club Al-Hilal SFC appeared to be prepping a “get well soon” graphic once the ACL injury was confirmed. And let’s just say that they settled on the most unhinged photo choice imaginable.

The official team account made an entire graphic that featured two images of Neymar writhing in pain and calling for medical help. It’s wild that someone with the club settled on those photos for the graphic and a social team all apparently signed off on it.

Just a shocking graphic for an injury announcement in every sense. No wonder fans ripped the account for the photo choice. It was in terrible taste.
