Paris Saint-Germain will be down star player Neymar who picked up an injury last Wednesday when his side played against Strasbourg during their French cup encounter. Thankfully the injury won’t require surgery, but will have him sidelined for up to 10 weeks. Which means Neymar will miss both legs of Paris St. Germain’s games against Manchester United once the Champions League starts again.
PSG released a club statement which read: “On Tuesday evening Paris Saint-Germain gathered together a group of world-renowned medical experts at the Ooredoo Training Centre to carry out a thorough review of the injury to Neymar Jr.’s right foot, sustained against RC Strasbourg in the Coupe de France round of 16 match on Jan. 23. After detailed analysis by the specialists, a consensus was reached of a conservative treatment of Neymar Jr.’s injury to the fifth metatarsal. Informed of this recommendation, Paris Saint-Germain’s Brazilian international striker agreed with this protocol. As a result Neymar Jr. is expected to return on the field within 10 weeks. Paris Saint-Germain sends its strongest support and encouragement to Neymar Jr. to overcome this injury, with the courage and determination that the player has always shown.”
This is the second time Neymar has injured his fifth metatarsal on the same foot as well. Based on PSG’s recovery time frame, Neymar should be back in action mid-April. ⚽️Olé!
