Paris Saint-Germain attacking star Neymar will need surgery and will most likely be out for the rest of the season. This was announced by the French master.
It will be three to four months before Neymar can return to team training, the club said. On Wednesday (9 p.m. / DAZN) PSG will play Bayern Munich in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League and have to make up for a 0-1 draw in the first leg.
The ligament operation was necessary because the 31-year-old Brazilian’s right ankle had been damaged several times in recent years, the club said in a statement.
After the recent injury in the league game against Lille, medical staff would have advised ligament surgery to reduce the risk of further setbacks. The procedure will be carried out in a few days in a hospital in Doha.
