Paris Saint Germain superstar Neymar Jr will be out for the next 3 to 4 months due to his latest injury requiring surgery, the club said on Monday. This effectively rules the Brazilian out of the upcoming UEFA Champions League Round Of 16 2nd Leg clash against Bayern Munich.
Neymar Jr has sustained a number of instances of instability in his right ankle in recent years. Following his latest sprain on 20 February, the Paris Saint-Germain medical staff recommended a ligament repair operation to avoid a major risk of recurrence. All the experts consulted have confirmed this necessity, a PSG statement said.
