PSG: Injured Neymar out for Classique in Marseille | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain have announced that Brazil superstar Neymar suffered an ankle sprain with ligament damage in the Ligue 1 Uber Eats R24 win over LOSC and will be out of action for this Sunday's R25 Classique away to arch-rivals and Coupe nemeses Olympique de Marsielle.

Neymar managed an assist and a goal before he was stretchered off in tears in the crazy 4-3 win over LOSC at the Parc des Princes on Sunday, but he won't be in a position to recapture that form in Marseille this week, the capital club announced on Tuesday.

Paris Saint-Germain were awaiting these further examinations before making a pronouncement on the star's capacity to participate in some big upcoming fixtures, and on Tuesday club medical staff announced that Neymar is suffering from an ankle sprain and ligament damage - the same injury that befell him during the recent World Cup - and will miss Sunday's clash. Out for Bayern too?

The only information released in terms of a prognosis was that further further examinations will be undertaken at the beginning of next week - at which time there may be an indication of whether the mercurial forward will be fit to take the field in the crunch return leg of Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie with Bayern Munich, who clinched a 1-0 win in the first leg at the Parc des Princes last week. Meanwhile Portugal left-back Nuno Mendes, who picked up a knock to the knee in the LOSC match, will will return to training this week.
