It doesn't go anymore
.
There is no choice but to stop and start again for
Neymar
, who will undergo surgery "in the next few days" on his right ankle in Doha, Qatar, and will be absent from the playing fields for "three to four months."
This was announced this Monday
by Paris Saint-Germain
, who will be left without the services of the Brazilian until the end of the season.
Neymar, who was injured on February 19 against Lille in a French League match,
"presented several episodes of instability in his right ankle in recent years"
, for which reason "the Paris SG medical staff recommended a ligament repair operation with the aim of avoiding a greater risk of relapses," the entity specified.
On February 19, the Brazilian forward left the playing field on a stretcher, where a while before he had been vital with an assist for Kylian Mbappé and a goal in the 2-0 partial for the Parisian team, which that afternoon ended up winning with an agonizing great goal from a free kick by Lionel Messi.
It was only the second game that the trident of stars had shared since the restart after the World Cup in Qatar
.
The number 10, who had already had problems with that right ankle in the last World Cup, left his teammates in the 51st minute, in the Parc des Princes, when the score was favorable to PSG 2-1.
Neymar's right ankle twisted in a play in which he was challenging Benjamin André for the ball.
His teammates quickly called the assists with worried gestures.
On the ground, with tears in his eyes, the Brazilian tried to get up and walk before lying on the stretcher with angry gestures, to leave the field with his head in his hands.
advance trip
PSG brought forward its trip to the German city of Munich for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, due to the national strike that will take place this Tuesday in France.
The Parisian team had planned to travel on Tuesday morning and organize their training session in the afternoon, which will be completed with the coach's press conference, Christophe Galtier, prior to Wednesday's meeting.
However, those responsible for PSG brought the trip forward for this Monday afternoon in France, after training at their Camp del Loges facilities.
The objective is to avoid possible complications due to the day of strikes called in France by the unions to try to stop the pension reform project.
PSG, who start with a disadvantage after losing 0-1 against Bayern in the first leg, has the habit with coach Christophe Galtier of traveling the eve of their European matches, rushing to the maximum and even holding their last training session in Paris when these are short trips.
