The injury takes place six days before the visit to the Camp Nou, next Tuesday, in the first stage of the Champions League qualifier against Barcelona.
The Brazilian striker Neymar Jr. (PSG) will be out for about four weeks due to a muscle injury and will not be able to play the first leg of the eighth round of the Champions League against Barcelona, which will be played on Tuesday, his team announced on Thursday.
Neymar was injured in a harsh attack he received on Wednesday night during a French Cup match against Caen.
The medical tests he underwent today show a lesion of the left abductor magnus “and an unavailability of about four weeks is expected, depending on the evolution”, it is shown in a communiqué from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Brazilian retired injured in the match in the 30th final of the internal Cup between his team and Caen, a week before the duel against his former teammates.
“Ney” received a strong blow from the home side’s central defense after 60 minutes, and chipped it past the keeper to score the 1 – 0 goal. He was replaced by Kylian Mbappé, who was a starting substitute.
The injury takes place six days before the visit to the Camp Nou, on Tuesday, in the first stage of the eliminatory phases of the Champions League against Barcelona and is still in doubt for the return match.
