Brazilian striker PSG received test results after injury in Champions League match against Basaksehir.

In the second round of the Champions League, the reigning champion of France Paris Saint-Germain met with Turkish Istanbul Bashakshehir away. The Red-Blues eventually won (2: 0), but already in the 26th minute they lost their key player in attack. Brazilian striker Neymar is unable to continue with a thigh injury.

Upon returning to France, the player was awaiting a medical examination, the results of which were reported by German coach Thomas Tuchel in an interview with the club's official website.. " He has a minor injury to the adductor muscle. I don't think he can play for Brazil. We have information that he will return after the break, "

Before the next international pause, the French PSG will play Ligue 1 matches against Nantes and Rennes, between which the team will face one of the key confrontations in the UEFA Champions League - away against the German RB Leipzig.

The club expects that the player's return should be counted on no earlier than November 20, when PSG will visit Monaco as part of the national championship..

Recall that for Neymar this will not be the first period of a forced pause in the new season.. At the beginning of the football year, he missed the game with Lance due to COVID-19, after which he was disqualified from matches against Metz and Nice due to unsporting behavior in the derby against Marseille, after which he missed the game with Nantes due to his late return from the national squad..

Over the past three years, Neymar missed 368 days due to damage, during which his team managed to play 64 matches.

During the current season, the Brazilian has six fights, in which he provided the team with two goals and gave four assists.
