Paris Saint-GermainsuperstarNeymar was stretchered off the pitch during their hard-earned 4-3Ligue 1 win against Lille on Sunday. The Brazilian’s game was cut short when, with the Parisians ahead in the second half, he was carried off the field on a stretcher while holding his head and sobbing.

Again, just before the UEFA Champions League rolls around, he looks to have suffered a significant injury to his ankle. Neymar will be needed if Christophe Galtier is to beat Bayern in the return leg. The Brazilian winger was plainly in pain as soon as he fell down after tripping on the grass while trying to make his way across the middle of the field.

While he did obtain medical treatment, it was shortly determined that he was no longer able to participate.It’s worth noting that the Brazilian suffered an identicalmajor injury at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. When playing on the group stage, the 31-year-old hurt his right ankle at the time.
