PSG Gives Good News For Bayern Munich

JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) revealed the certainty of injuries suffered by their star player, Neymar. The Brazilian striker suffered serious injuries that required immediate treatment.

As previously reported, Neymar suffered an injury during the PSG against OSC Lille in the French Ligue 1 continuation, 19 February.

In this match, Neymar actually performed brilliantly by scoring one goal and one assist, before being pulled out.

The former Barcelona player suffered an ankle injury after being violated by the visitors' midfielder, Benjamin Andre. PSG coach Christophe Galtier then pulled Neymar in the 51st minute and added Hugo Ekitike as a substitute.

PSG could not confirm the injury suffered by the player at the time. However, after undergoing further examination, it was found that the player's injury was serious. "From the results of today's examination, it was confirmed that Neymar's swollen ankle had torn the ligament," PSG said in an official statement as quoted by Reuters on Wednesday, February 22.

"He will undergo additional tests next week," the club continued in a statement.

However, PSG did not disclose in detail how long Neymar would be absent. This condition clearly makes it possible for Neymar to defend the Blaugrana against Bayern Munich in the second leg of the last 16.

The PSG meeting with Die Roten will take place on Thursday, March 9 at 03.00 WIB at the Allianz Arena. In the first leg, in Paris, Les Parisien lost 0-1.
