In Istanbul, Neimars finished the game in 25 minutes. PSG continued to play without him and won with the result 2: 0.
“The Brazilian, who was in the prayer of replacement trying to play on, underwent a magnetic resonance imaging that revealed a rupture in the adductor muscle,” the RMC Sport website said.
The next three PSG games are the French Premier League match in Nantes on Saturday, followed on Wednesday by home games against Leipzig in the Champions League and against Rennes on 7 November in the Ligue 1 Championship.
This match is followed by a break in international matches, with Brazil facing the World Cup qualifiers with Venezuela and Uruguay on 14 and 17 November respectively. Neumar has been invited to the Brazilian national team.
“There is no indication yet of his participation in the Brazilian national team,” says RMC Sport.
PSG coach Thomas Tuhel said on Friday that he did not think Neumar would be able to play for the national team.
“If he plays, it means he’s not injured, and that’s bad news. I have the information that he’ll be back on the field after the break,” says the coach.
After the break of international matches, PSG will play in Monaco on November 20.
Tuhel had to reckon with the full infirmary, which included Marco Verati, Mauro Ikardi, Leandro Paredes, Julian Draksler and Juan Bernat. The coach hopes that Icardi and Paredes will be able to return to the pitch on Wednesday in a match with “Leipzig”.
“I really hope they will be with us on Monday. We have to come to terms with the fact that they will only be able to play after one training session,” he said. “Normally, I’d say they’re not ready for the Champions League, but they might have to play right now.”
Neumars released two more games after the red card against Marseille’s Olympigue after the start of the season due to Covid-19. He has scored two goals this season and made four assists.
