PSG qualified in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France by eliminating Caen 0-1 thanks to a goal from Kean in the 49th minute.
It was Neymar’s first and last game in February and the player, captain for the occasion, came out injured in the 61st minute.
After examinations, the club of the French capital communicated on February 11 that the Santista was the victim of a lesion of the long left adductor.
The Brazilian star will miss 4 long weeks and especially the back and forth matches of the knockout stages of the Champions League against FC Barcelona.
Disgruntled, the player posted a long message on his Instagram account: “The sadness is great, the pain immense and the tears constant. Once again, I’m going to take a break from doing what I love to do the most, playing football. It bothers me that because of my style of play, the dribbling, I take hits all the time, I don’t know if the problem is me or what I’m doing on the pitch… it really makes me sad. It makes me so sad to have listened to players, coaches, commentators (…) say “he deserves to take hits”
With four weeks of absence, Neymar will miss at least 4 Ligue 1 games (Nice, Monaco, Dijon and Bordeaux) plus the double confrontation in the Champions League.
This is the fourth consecutive year that Neymar has been injured at this time of year and the player’s 4-year contract renewal is expected to be announced shortly.
Marquinhos, another Brazilian player nominated for the Golden Samba, is operational and should be the holder and naturally captain on February 16 for the first leg against FC Barcelona.
