Neymar To Miss Rest Of 2021 With Ankle Injury

Paris Saint Germain superstar Neymar will miss the rest of 2021 with an ankle injury.

The Brazil international has been ruled out for up to eight weeks after picking up the injury against Saint Etienne in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Neymar had to be stretchered off following a challenge from a Saint Etienne player late in the second half.

PSG defeated Saint Etienne 3-1 to move 12 points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 standings but that victory has come at a cost for Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

PSG have said in a statement on the club's official website: "The examinations carried out confirm that Neymar Jr suffers from a sprained left ankle with ligament injuries.

"An unavailability of 6 to 8 weeks is to be expected. A new assessment will be made in 72 hours to specify the recovery."

"Unfortunately, these setbacks are a part of an athlete’s life," Neymar wrote on Instagram after the match.

"Now you have to raise your head and move on. I will come back better and stronger."

Neymar has made 14 appearances in all competitions for PSG this season, scoring three goals and providing three assists.
