Paris: Neymar has been ruled out from Paris Saint-Germain’s League League clashes with Leipzig RB on Tuesday with an adductor muscle injury, his club said.
PSG said in a medical bulletin on Monday that Neymar “has a pain in the groin because of returning from international tasks and will undergo further treatment for the next few days before returning to full training.” The most expensive player in the world scored Brazil’s goal in the 4-1 World Cup qualifying victory against Uruguay last Thursday, playing 90 minutes in the match also appeared in a 0-0 draw in Colombia in the previous weekend.
He did not play for PSG when they beat Angers 2-1 at Ligue 1 last Friday, a game that was also passed by Lionel Messi.
Argentina had to return to Leipzig at the Parc des Princes because PSG wanted to build a 2-0 victory over Manchester City at the previous Champions League sightseeing last month.
Neymar, meanwhile, would hope to recover time to play Marseille next weekend.
“The priority is always the health of the players.
‘Ney’ has a small problem that we hope will only keep him away for a few days,” PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino told reporters on Monday.
Apart from the injury, Neymar took part in training on Monday, unlike Mauro Icardi, who was sidelined because of what was called Pochettino “personal problems”.
Media reports in France said former Inter striker Icardi had gone to Milan to try to resolve the problem of relations with his partner Wanda Nara, who was also his agent.
PSG is without Angel Di Maria who was suspended and the Duo Leandro Paredes and Sergio Ramos were not suitable for meetings with Germany.
“They are a super team with some of the best attackers in the world.
Maybe we should play with a seven defense,” Smiled American coach Leipzig Jesshe Marsch.
Leipzig is currently under Group A without points, while PSG and Club Brugge are at four points and Manchester City has three before playing in Belgium on Tuesday.
