World’s most expensive footballer and PSG star, Neymar, has been
ruled out for a month with a foot and ankle injury he sustained in his
team’s Ligue 1 win over the weekend.
Seeing that Real Madrid visit PSG for the return of their round of 16
match in just 9 days, the highly rated Brazilian attacker is sure to
miss the crucial showdown.
The Brazilian was a late casualty in Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash with
Marseille, in which the French leaders ran out easy 3 – 0 winners.
Neymar was left in tears after tangling with Marseille’s Bouna Sarr, with all signs pointing towards a damaged ankle.
And while preliminary tests ruled out a fracture or serious sprain in
the joint on Sunday evening, subsequent examinations have revealed the
full extent of his injury, and that he has also damaged a metatarsal
bone in his foot.
“Complementary
examinations performed today (ultrasound and CT) confirmed an external
sprain of the right ankle but also the associated existence of a
fracture in the fifth metatarsal,” a statement released by PSG on Monday
confirmed.
As a result Neymar faces a minimum of one month on the sidelines, and
will not be able to take part in PSG’s bid for Champions League revenge
against the Blancos.
