league champion Can miss both legs against Barcelona
Neymar will be out a month after having a grade II tear in the adductor muscle in his left leg Paris Saint-Germain’s Coupe de France draw against Caen Wednesday night.
As such, the 29-year-old’s accident continues in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, as he won the first game of PSG‘s last 16 draw against Barcelona in the Camp Nou on 16 February.
However, that is not all, as it can be difficult for Neymar to appear in the second leg back in Paris on March 10th. His participation in this match will depend on how he recovers.
Mauricio Pochettino is therefore without two of his star players for the trip Barcelona, with Neymar connection Angel Di Maria on the treatment table.
“He left with adductor discomfort and we will have to wait until tomorrow to see if it is an injury or not,” Pochettino said after the victory against Caen.
“We will only know for sure tomorrow. Let’s hope it’s just a small thing. At the moment we do not know if it’s nothing … and if he will be out there in a few more weeks.”
PSG‘s worst omens are come true.
