Al Hilal coach Jorge Jesus has confirmed that the former Barcelona player has not been registered for the second half of the season. 

“Ney will not be registered for the league games. He can still participate in the AFC Champions League.” 

“The Saudi league is one of the best leagues in the world. Any Al Hilal player can play for any club in Europe. I planned to have Mitrovic as the center forward with Neymar behind when I first got the job.”
