Neymar is absent from Saint-Germain until the end of the year

Brazilian star Neymar da Silva was removed from the list of Paris Saint-Germain during the upcoming confrontation with Lille, and it is unlikely that he will participate again until the end of this year.

"After suffering a sprained left ankle injury, he is still suffering from bruises in the bones and will continue to receive treatment in the training field. He is expected to return in January," Saint Germain said in his statement today, Saturday.

Saint Germain are second in the Ligue 1 table, one point behind leaders Lille, ahead of their Sunday match.

Neymar will also miss the match against Strasbourg next Wednesday, which is the last for Saint Germain this year.

Neymar was injured on the 13th of this month after a strong intervention by Thiago Mendes during the match in which Saint-Germain defeated Lyon 1-0.
