Brazilian Neymar came out on a stretcher (stretcher) as his team, Paris Saint-Germain, beat its guest, Lille, 4-3 in the French Football League.
The Brazilian star made the first goal for Kylian Mbappe, and scored the second goal in the first half of the match that was held at the “Princes’ Park” stadium.
But when Saint-Germain was leading 2/1, Neymar was forced to leave shortly after the start of the second half after a collision with Benjamin Andre, as it appears that the player injured his right ankle.
In the end, Neymar (31 years old) was no longer able to walk, and it was clear that he was in distress and cried while he was taken off the field.
Neymar's injury could represent a painful blow to Saint-Germain's hopes in the Champions League, as the team lost the first leg in the Round of 16 to Bayern Munich with a clean goal.
And there are only less than 3 weeks left before the return match on March 8, and Christophe Galtier, the coach of the team, who lost the efforts of Portuguese Nuno Mendes due to injury in the first half of the Lille match, hopes that Neymar's injury will not be serious.
Regarding the Brazilian international's injury, Galtier said after the match, "Neymar has a sprained ankle... We do not know how serious it is. He will undergo examinations now to reveal what the injury is."
