PSG will have to do without Neymar against Barça, next Tuesday, at Camp Nou, in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League.
In fact, the club of the capital will have to compose without its Brazilian prodigy, affected with the adductor in Caen in the Coupe de France (victory 1-0), for several weeks.
“Neymar JR suffered an injury to the left adductor longus on Wednesday evening.
At the analysis of the clinical examination and the imaging examinations, it is to be expected an unavailability of about 4 weeks depending on the evolution, ”we learned this Thursday in a press release from the vice-champions of Europe.
Clearly, it is anything but certain that Neymar is fit for the return match against his former team, on March 10, at the Parc des Princes.
Neymar, 29, has not been spared physical glitches at this point in the season since arriving in Paris in 2017. He missed the round of 16 second leg against Real Madrid in 2018 and both matches against Manchester United in 2019. In 2020, he feared he could not be held in Dortmund and had been decisive in the round of 16 second leg.
As we know it, Paris reached the first C1 final in its history in Lisbon.
