PSG confirm the true extent of Neymar's ankle injury | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that Neymar will be out of action for the next four weeks.

The Brazilian striker went down during his country’s friendly with Qatar earlier this week, with the Seleção immediately confirming that the 27-year-old would be unavailable for the Copa America.

PSG sent their own medics to South America to check up on the forward.

And now via an official statement on their website, the Ligue 1 giants have confirmed that the ankle ligament damage suffered by Neymar will keep him out for the next four weeks.

It read: “On Saturday 8 June, Paris Saint-Germain’s first team doctor, Dr Laurent Aumont, and the club’s Medical Board member and leading figure in sport medicine Professor Gérard Saillant assessed the injury picked up by Neymar Jr in Brazil‘s preparation match for the Copa América last Wednesday.

“The two doctors diagnosed a sprain of the lateral ligament of the right ankle without surgical indication, to be treated with conservative treatment. The Paris Saint-Germain striker is expected to return on the field in four weeks time.”
