This Neymar injury brings back bad memories for PSG, which has already been deprived of the Brazilian in the past for vital games. Thus, he injured his foot before the second leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid in 2018.
In 2019, the Brazilian figure missed the round of 16 of the top European competition against Manchester United and in 2021 he was injured again before the duel against his former club, Barcelona, again in the round of 16.
Since his arrival in Paris in 2017, Neymar has missed 86 games due to physical problems.
