The PSG star was injured in the final stretch of this Sunday’s game against Saint-Étienne.

The Brazilian forward of Paris SG Neymar, victim of an impressive sprained left ankle, had to leave on a stretcher this Sunday in Saint-Etienne during a Ligue 1 match, a worrying injury for the Brazilian, who retired in tears .

Following a Yvann Maçon tackle, the Parisian 10 fell on his rival and his left ankle bent in that action. Among obvious signs of pain, Neymar was removed on a stretcher in the 87th minute of the game, replaced by Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe.

“It’s time to recover. Unfortunately these setbacks are part of the life of an athlete. Now I have to lift my head and move on. I will come back better and stronger, ”said the São Paulo player, who in one of the three photos he posted on that social network appears on the ground with signs of pain.

Since his arrival in the French capital in August 2017 after the payment of 222 million euros to FC Barcelona, ​​the highest transfer in history, the Brazilian has suffered several significant injuries.

Among others, in February 2018 he fractured the fifth metatarsal of his foot in a match against Marseille and was out for three months.

In January 2019 he suffered the same injury in a cupbearer match against Strasbourg that took him away from the pitch for three months and in June of that year a torn ligament in his right ankle in a friendly between Brazil and Qatar forced him to miss the Copa América with his team and the start of the season with PSG.
