Neymar has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, requiring surgery for the injury to his right ankle. The Brazilian has struggled with his ankle repeatedly, and will now undergo a surgical procedure to prevent any further damage.
He will be sidelined for 3-4 months according to an official statement released by PSG. As a result, the next time we see Neymar will be after the end of the season, and potentially not before the start of the next one.
Neymar ruled out for remainder of the season with ankle injury
Multiple experts were consulted for the winger’s injury, and all of them have recommended surgery for him. As a result, his participation in yet another difficult Champions League tie has been ruled out due to injury.
Paris Saint-Germain are heading to Bayern Munich trailing 1-0 on aggregate, and could have used Neymar’s quality to compete against the German giants. But, they will be without his services in Bavaria as yet another Round of 16 exit stares at them in the face.
Neymar was having a remarkable return this season, scoring 13 goals and providing 11 assists in 20 Ligue 1 games. And once again, injuries have taken their toll on his playing time and consistency.
