PSG star Neymar undergoes successful ankle surgery
The HinduParis Saint Germain’s Brazil forward Neymar has successfully undergone surgery on his right ankle, the Ligue 1 side announced on Friday. Neymar, who has 13 goals and 11 assists in Ligue 1 this season, has not played since a 4-3 win over Lille last month, missing PSG’s last three games. The French champion did not provide a timeline for Neymar’s return, saying “the player will now follow a protocol of rest and treatment.” Earlier this week, PSG said the injury will keep the Brazil international out for the rest of the season. The 31-year-old has twice spent lengthy spells on the sidelines after sustaining metatarsal fractures before PSG’s last-16 tie against Real Madrid in 2019 and against Manchester United the following year, with the French side being knocked out of the Champions League on both occasions.
