On Monday, the French newspaper The Parisian reported that according to tests carried out on Sunday, Neymar should be absent for three to four weeks. During this period, the Brazilian would miss the Paris Saint Germain in a decisive duel against Bayern Munchenfor the round of 16 return match of the Champions League.
Last Sunday, in a match against Lille for the French Championship, number 10 was replaced after spraining his ankle in split. The player underwent tests and, according to a note published by the Parisian club, a rupture was ruled out. Already the French press claims that there was a partial rupture of the ligaments and internally the expectation is that Neymar will be sidelined for three to four weeks.
If confirmed, PSG will have an important absence for the game against Bayern Munich, on the 8th, at 5 pm (Brasília time), qualifying for the Champions League quarterfinals. Messi and Mbappé’s team were behind in the first leg and now need to seek a victory by a goal difference, at the Allianz Arena, in Munich.
The news comes at a delicate time, with the French club suffering from injuries, bad results and internal crises After defeating the Bavarian team, last Tuesday, Mbappé demanded that players take care of food and sleep. Many considered it a hint at Neymar, who days before went with friends to a fast food chain.
PSG returns to the field this Sunday, at 4:45 pm, when they visit Olympique de Marseille in a match for the French Championship.
