Neymar posed for a selfie as he cheered on Al-Hilal as he recovered from surgery on an anterior cruciate injury that will prevent him from playing for the Saudi side.
The Brazilian joined the Saudi squad this summer after calling time on European football and deciding to leave Paris Saint-Germain in a £78 million summer deal.
However, his time in the oil-rich country has so far been thwarted by injury, with Neymar making just five appearances for the Saudi side so far.
Neymar suffered a serious injury while on international duty with Brazil in October and subsequently had to undergo surgery on his knee problem.
He is expected to miss the rest of the season but is still voicing his public support for the Saudi Pro League leaders from the sanctuary of his own home.

Neymar posed for a selfie as he sat wearing a protective boot and a bandage over his knee where it was cut open during surgery.
Al-Hilal starred in their top-flight match against Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, winning 3-0 thanks to goals from Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The Saudi top leaders therefore built a seven-point lead over Al-Nassr, putting them in a strong position for the league title.
Neymar has played just five games for Al-Hilal since joining the club
Neymar is likely to miss the rest of the season as he undergoes a lengthy rehabilitation period following the knee injury that occurred in Brazil's recent defeat to Uruguay.
At the time of his latest problem, Neymar posted on his Instagram: 'It is a very sad time, the worst.
'I know I'm strong, but this time I need my family and friends even more.
“It's not easy going through injuries and surgeries. Imagine having to experience it all again after four months of recovery.'
