Neymar is set to miss the rest of the season after the Brazilian forward was forced to undergo ankle surgery that will keep him sidelined for around 3-4 months.
Neymar’s repeated injury problems have been a constant worry for PSG ever since they signed him and now they will be forced to go without their Brazilian forward for the remainder of the season, as he is set to undergo surgery on his ankle.

The 31-year old suffered from the injury last month and has been left to watch on from the sideline ever since, with PSG announcing on Monday that their superstar now requires surgery. The statement from PSG read:
‘Neymar Jr has had several episodes of right ankle instability in recent years. Following his last sprain contracted on February 20, the medical staff of Paris Saint-Germain recommended a ligament repair operation, in order to avoid a major risk of recurrence. All of the experts consulted confirmed this need.”

‘This surgery will be performed in the coming days at ASPETAR Hospital in Doha.
“A delay of 3 to 4 months is expected before his return to collective training.”
If he is to miss the rest of the season then Neymar could have already played his final game for PSG, as it has been reported that the Brazilian is due a transfer away from the Parc Des Princes this Summer.
With Neymar now out for the foreseeable future, PSG’s Champions League hopes have taken a huge knock as they will have to rely on Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe to help them claw their way out of the last 16, having already lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the first leg.
