PSG forward Neymar is set to miss the rest of the season as he prepares to undergo surgery on his right ankle.
The 31-year-old suffered the injury last month, and will now have an operation that is set to keep him out of action for 3-4 months.
PSG confirmed the news in a statement on their club website on Monday afternoon.
The statement 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.’
Should he miss the remainder of the season, this could mean that he may have played his final game with PSG, amid reports that he could be sold by the French giants this summer.
