Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Brazil star Neymar Jr. is set to miss the rest of the 2022-2023 football season after suffering an ankle injury during a match against Olympique Lyonnais.
The news has come as a major blow to the club, who are currently fighting for the top spot in the French Ligue 1 and have their sights set on winning the UEFA Champions League.
The injury occurred during the match against Olympique Lyonnais when Neymar collided with an opponent and twisted his ankle. To that effect, he was immediately taken off the field and sent for medical tests, which revealed a serious sprain that will require several weeks of rest and rehabilitation.
Sadly enough, this is not the first time Neymar has suffered an injury that has forced him to miss important matches. In the past, he has missed crucial games for PSG and the Brazilian national team due to a variety of injuries, including a fractured metatarsal in his right foot and a thigh injury.
Neymar’s absence will be a significant setback for PSG, who are heavily dependent on the forward’s attacking prowess. His absence could potentially derail the club’s season and their hopes of winning the UEFA Champions League.
PSG’s Problems Continue
PSG has already had a difficult start to the season, losing several key players to injury and struggling to find their rhythm on the field.
However, PSG has a strong squad, and the absence of Neymar could provide an opportunity for other players to step up and prove their worth.
Despite the setback, Neymar remains a key player for PSG and one of the most talented footballers in the world. The club will be hoping for a speedy recovery and a return to form for the Brazilian superstar.
Until then, PSG will have to rely on their other players to maintain their position at the top of the league and make a strong showing in the UEFA Champions League.
