Al Hilal are up against newly promoted Al Riyadh in an important Saudi Pro League match today (September 15).

The Saudi League table toppers Al Hilal are currently unbeaten and will be hoping to get past a struggling Al Riyadh in the match to further consolidate their top status. The most successful Saudi Club ever, Al Hilal have made some big transfer acquisitions this summer.

They have roped in Kalidou Koulibaly, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Ruben Neves, Malcom and Aleksandar Mitrovic this summer. But their biggest acquisition of the transfer was Neymar, who joined the Saudi giants from French club PSG.

Although the likes of Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ruben Neves and others have already played numerous games for Al Hilal, Neymar is yet to make his debut. The Brazilian star was carrying a niggle and the minor issue has so far kept him out of action for his club.

Will Neymar make his debut for Al Hilal today?

Al Hilal manager Jorge Jesus said earlier that the Brazilian star is nearing full fitness. Neymar was nearing fitness before the match against Al Ittihad, but was not risked. And in the international break, the 31-year-old finally returned to action since his last match in August, when he played in a friendly for PSG.

Neymar played a total of 180 minutes for Brazil in their CONBEMOL World Cup qualifiers, and scored 2 goals and made 2 assists across the matches. Against Bolivia, Neymar also created history by crossing Pele's 77-goal mark to become the highest-scorer for Brazil in international football.

Will Neymar play today vs Al Riyadh? It is a massive possibility. Neymar looks set to make his debut today for Al Hilal and it will be appropriate for him to play in front of the home fans. It is unclear whether the Brazilian will start the match or come on as a substitute, but he is certain to feature today for Al Hilal.
