PSG said in a statement that “Neymar Jr. has had several episodes of instability in his right ankle in recent years. Following his last sprain contracted on February 20, the medical staff recommended a ligament repair operation to avoid a major risk of recurrence. All the experts consulted have confirmed this necessity. A delay of three to four months is expected before his return to training.”

PSG further said that Neymar would undergo the surgery in Doha, Qatar. The club is top of the league with an eight-point lead over second-placed Marseille. They face Bayern Munich on Wednesday in the Champions League round-of-16 second leg, where they trail 1-0.
