PSG's father, Neimar, is confident that his son as soon as possible requires surgical intervention.

The Brazilian winger was injured in a fight against Marseille in the match of League 1 (3: 0). Initially, it was expected that the player just sprained ankle and will be able to help his team in the approaching match of the 1/8 finals with Real Madrid.

Nevertheless, further medical tests have revealed Neimar also a crack in the metatarsal bone, which, most likely, will not allow him to enter the field in the next few weeks.

While at the Paris Club they continue to believe in the possibility of the player's participation in a duel with Madrid, his father excludes such a possibility and asks to let his son lie under the knife.

"PSG already knows that Neimar flew for six to eight weeks," said Neimar Sr..

"The decision on the operation lies on the shoulders of PSG and will be taken in conjunction with the doctor of the national team of Brazil".

"It is necessary to send Neimar as soon as possible to the operation, since this is the shortest path to his recovery," the father of the player.

Earlier, the head coach of Real Zinedine Zidane said that he would like that Neymar played in the match with Madrid.
