Neymar will face around three months on the
sidelines after his operation which will take place
this Saturday, Brazil's national team doctor has
confirmed.
After Suffering a fractured metatarsal during the
3-0 victory over Marseille, the world's most
expensive player opted to undergo an operation.
The decision meant he would certainly be out for
The Champions League last-16 return Against Real
Madrid, but it appears he will now miss the
majority of the remainder of the campaign.
He was pictured on a wheelchair as he prepared
to board a flight to Rio deJaneiro — and Brazil
doctor Rodrigo Lasmar confirmed:
"He will be out for around two-and-a-half and
three months.
'Neymar suffered a fracture to the fifth metatarsal,
it is an important fracture in a foot bone. The
operation will be in Belo Horizonte on Saturday
morning, and the recovery takes from two and a
half months to three months.
'Neymar is sad, but understands that he has no
alternative now. He will devote himself to being
well as soon as possible. We will do our best to
get him ready as soon as possible.'
A statement on the club's official website on
Wednesday read: 'After an initial treatment period
of three days in line with a strict medical protocol, a jointdecision has been taken between the medical staffs of both Paris Saint-Germain and the Brazil national team.
'In accordance with the player, it has been decided
that Neymar Jr will undergo surgery in Brazil athe
end of this week.
'He will be operated on by Dr. Rodrigo Lasmar,
accompanied by Professor Saillant, representing
PSG.'
Paris Saint-Germain boss Unai Emery hinted
Samba star, 26, still had a ten per cent chance of
being fit enough to face Los Blancos at the Parc
des Princes.
The injury appears to have sparked a war between
club and country, despite both playing it down.
Neymar a huge doubt for PSG’s Champions
League clash with Real Madrid after being
stretchered off against Marseille.
Neymar signed for £198million in the summer,
and is been arguably their stand-out player this
campaign — and will be a big miss against Real
Madrid.
The reigning European champions won the first leg
3-1 with two late goals after coming from behind.
So PSG know they must score a minimum of two
goals to have any hope of reaching the quarter-
finals.
Angel Di Maria is expected to replace the Brazilian
in attack.
