Caen, France / 10.02.2021 17:56:02
The Brazilian attacker from PSG, Neymar retired due to discomfort, derived from several fouls he received during the duel of the thirtieth final of l1st French Cup before Caen.
After two strokes in three minutes, the last with Steeve Yago, ‘Ney’ remained lying on the grass for several minutes. Visibly angry, he exchanged a few words angrily with the defender of the Normans.
When play resumed, Neymar continued to visibly complain about how he was treated and ended up heading straight for the locker room in the 57th minute.
Kylian Mbappé jumped onto the field, replacing the Brazilian, three minutes later.
On the field, Neymar appeared to limp and touch his adductors, but in the dressing room corridors he appeared to be walking correctly, according to images broadcast on Eurosport television.
“His left adductor muscle is affected and tomorrow (Thursday) they will examine him to see what type of injury he has. The reality is that we do not know the extent of the injury, tomorrow we will know more,” said Parisian coach Mauricio Pochettino after the game.
The physical condition of the Brazilian star is a matter of great importance for PSG less than a week after the visit to FC Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
The French team will not be able to count on Argentine Ángel Di María, injured in a thigh, for that match.
