The Brazilian has again suffered a long-term injury to his right ankle
Paris Saint-Germain has announced in an official statement a new injury to Brazilian No.10 Neymar.
Following a blow to his right ankle, the Parisian club’s player will have to undergo surgery again and will be out for approximately three to four months, his longest injury since he has been in Ligue 1.
The injury means the Brazilian will miss the Champions League round of 16 second leg between PSG and Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
The Canarinha star has missed at least one of his side’s knockout games against Real Madrid in the 2017-2018 season, Manchester United in 2018-2019, Barcelona 2020-2021 and Real Madrid 2021-2022 since he has been at the French club.
He only played the two round of 16 matches against Borussia Dortmund in 2020-2021.
Two years on the sidelines at PSG
Neymar’s time at PSG, taking into account the time off for this latest injury, amounts to approximately 731 days out of action, i.e. two full years.
The Brazilian joined the Parisian side in the 2017-2018 season, meaning the No10 has missed one out of every two seasons he has played for PSG.
In terms of competition, Neymar has missed a total of 104 games in a PSG shirt.
The former Barcelona player has made 173 appearances across all competitions, meaning the Brazil captain has been injured in approximately 37.5% of the games in which he has been available for the Parisian club.
