Neymar Jr back against Bayern on March 8 in Munich? FRANCK FIFE / AFP
The capital club gives news of its Brazilian striker on Tuesday, in a press release.
The countdown begins. Victim of a sprained ankle against Lille (4-3 victory) on Sunday, Neymar Jr escaped the fracture. PSG quickly indicated this after the first exams passed by the Brazilian star. New point this Tuesday, two days after the incident: “New exams taken today confirm a sprained ankle for Neymar Jr, with ligament damage“. It remains to be seen whether this diagnosis is compatible with a return of the former Barça star before the round of 16 return from C1 to Munich on March 8. “A new point will be made at the beginning of next week“, specifies the club of the capital in a press release.
Good news for Nuno Mendes, also affected in the stunning victory against Lille. The Portuguese side had injured his knee at the start of the game. He “will resume training this week“, we assure. No worries for Munich, then. The former Sporting CP player could even be in uniform during the Classic against OM on Sunday, at the Vélodrome, during the 25th day of L1. A shock that Neymar Jr will certainly miss. For the rest, suspense.
