Neymar suffers from a sprained ankle with “ligament damage”

The concern grows. Already guaranteed not to be traveling to Marseille on Sunday, in Ligue 1, will Neymar hold his place in Munich? The Brazilian suffers from a sprained ankle “with ligament injuries”, according to a press release published by Paris Saint-Germain, Tuesday February 21. Neymar was injured in the narrow victory against Lille (4-3) last Sunday after poor support in a duel with Benjamin André.

The duration of his unavailability has not yet been measured. The capital club will say more during a “new point at the beginning of next week”. For the Brazilian, fate persists. Number 10 is hit in the same ankle as during the World Cup in Qatar. This injury brings back bad memories at PSG, which has often been deprived of Neymar during high-stakes matches in C1. He had thus injured his foot before a knockout round of the Champions League return against Real Madrid in 2018, had missed the 8th round against Manchester United in 2019 and was injured again, this time in the adductor, before the duel against Barça in 2021.

On the other hand, good news was given during the same medical point. Also out through injury against Lille, Portuguese left-back Nuno Mendes, “will return to training this week”.
