Neymar to miss PSG's clash with Barcelona due to injury

Neymar will miss Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League match against Barcelona next week after picking up an adductor injury.

The injury is expected to sideline the 29-year-old for up to four weeks, PSG announced Thursday.

“Neymar Jr. suffered a lesion to the left adductor on Wednesday evening. After analysis of clinical exams and scans, it is expected that he’ll be out for around four weeks depending on the evolution of the injury,” the team stated.

PSG take on Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 meeting on Feb. 16 at the Camp Nou.

The timeframe provided by PSG suggests Neymar could be available for the second leg on March 10 at the Parc des Princes.

The Brazilian star suffered the knock during PSG’s win over Caen on Wednesday when he was brought down by a heavy challenge in the second half.
