Rostyn Griffiths opens up on Des Buckingham influence, upcoming Al Hilal clash

The 31-year-old, who plays for Al Hilal in the Saudi Professional League, was expected to compete against Mumbai City FC in the AFC Champions League group stage on November 6. Initially, it was decided that the highly-anticipated match would take place in Pune, but the venue was eventually changed to the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

With Neymar being one of the most popular footballers of his generation, there has been great buzz among Indian fans at the possibility of seeing him live in action. But his arrival is in jeopardy now as he was stretchered off the field in tears during Brazil’s 0-2 defeat against Uruguay.

The incident occurred in the 44th minute of the match, when Neymar was tackled by Uruguay midfielder Nicolas de la Cruz and landed awkwardly. The Brazilian striker clutched his left knee in agony immediately and could take no further part in the contest. Later, he was seen leaving the stadium in crutches.
