Neymar out and PSG facing difficult game

As PSG faced Marseille the other day, the famous Brazilian, who was transferred from FC Barcelona for the largest sum in footballs history, got badly injured.

Neymar seems to be the centre of attention in France and the league at the moment, and having him out for several weeks is not good for PSG nor Neymar. During the game versus Marseille Neymar managed to step on the outside of his foot and break a metatarsal bone as-well as strain his ankle. The PSG doctors thought that Neymar would have a speedy recovery and be fit to play for the important game against Real Madrid that PSG is hosting the 6th of march. However, after going through more physicals doctors concluded that surgery needs to be done to speed up the recovery of Neymar's foot.

It looks like a total of three months is needed for Neymar to recover and heal in order to get back on the pitch and play, which means he misses the champions league as well as the rest of the season for PSG in the league.

It does not look good for PSG at the moment as they are facing Real Madrid in play offs for the Champions league. Real Madrid are already ahead in the aggregate with 3-1 which means that PSG need to win 2-0 in order to go through as Real have a goal scored at home. Without Neymar PSG have a difficult time scoring and getting the ball forwards to create chances.

Neymar is a key for scoring goals for PSG as he has proved this by scoring 29 goals in 30 games.

However, we should keep in mind that PSG has a very fit squad and many good players that should not be underestimated. I think that PSG can continue doing well in the league, but the Champions League game against Real can be a real struggle with Neymar gone. All we can do is wait for the results on the 6th.
