Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier confirmed yesterday that his injured Brazilian striker Neymar “will not be available” for the match against Bayern Munich, Germany, next Wednesday, in the second leg of the Champions League final. Neymar suffered an ankle injury during the exciting 4-3 win over Lille in the league two weeks ago.
Neymar participated in the first leg against Bayern, which he lost 1-0 at Parc des Princes in the middle of last month. “For the next two matches, Neymar will not be available,” Galtier said on the sidelines of the match against Nantes in the League tomorrow.
Our team is more balanced. Instead of two midfielders, we will have three midfielders and two strikers. Neymar’s absence is not fleeting, he is one of the best passers in the league, and it is an unfortunate absence for us.
