Paris St Germain forward Neymar has been ruled out for the rest of the season with the Brazil international set to undergo surgery to repair ankle ligaments that will keep him out for at least three months, the Ligue 1 club said on Monday.
Neymar, who has 13 goals and 11 assists in Ligue 1 this season, has not played since a 4-3 win over Lille last month, missing PSG's last two games.
Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar sustained ankle ligament damage in Sunday's 4-3 Ligue 1 win over Lille, the French club said late on Tuesday.
Brazilian forward Neymar, who scored PSG's second goal in the 17th minute, was stretchered off the field in tears early in the second half after colliding with Lille's Benjamin Andre and rolling his right ankle.
MARSEILLE — Paris Saint-Germain's miserable start to the year continued when they were knocked out of the French Cup last 16 by bitter rivals Olympique de Marseille on Wednesday.
Marseille, who had only beaten PSG twice since the capital side were taken over by Qatar Sport Investment (QSI) in 2011, reached the quarter-finals thanks to an Alexis Sanchez penalty and a Ruslan Malinovskyi thunderbolt after Sergio Ramos's first-half equalizer.
PARIS - PSG's mediocre run in Ligue 1 continued as they fell to a last-gasp 1-1 draw at home against Reims after being reduced to 10 men on Sunday.
Neymar scored early in the second half before Marco Verratti was shown a straight red card shortly after coming on as a substitute, with Folarin Balogun equalizing six minutes into stoppage time.
¡GOOOL DEL REIMS!
Soccer and K-Pop joined forces to melt the internet. Or at least that's what it looks like after PSG star Neymar and the rapper Lisa decided to upload a picture of both posing together on their respective Instagram stories.

El PSG volvió a la acción de la Ligue 1 tras el parón que significó el Mundial, enfrentando al RC Estrasburgo, en un partido que básicamente fue una cápsula de exhibición de las mejores virtudes y los peores defectos de Neymar Jr.
La estrella brasileña brilló con una asistencia en la victoria por 2-1 del PSG y dejó a todos boquiabiertos al dejar en el camino a un rival con un movimiento que incluyó elástico y túnel. ¿Lo malo? Se fue expulsado luego de una terrible simulación.
Do you miss the World Cup? Well, you are not the only one.
In terms of spectacle, Qatar 2022 was fun and set an all-time goal-scoring record for the tournament. The 32 teams participating in the event bagged a combined 172 goals, one more than the 171 we saw in France 1998 and Brazil 2014.
That's an average of 2.68 goals per game. Not bad, right?
Once Marquinhos sent his penalty shot to the post, sealing Brazil's exit from the 2022 World Cup, Neymar broke into tears. The dream of lifting the most coveted trophy in sports was again unfulfilled.
Several teammates approached the PSG star, trying to solace him. Thiago Silva, Dani Alves, and Vinícius Jr. were among those patting his shoulder. However, the most touching moment in the sequence was when a small kid with a Croatian jersey ran to Neymar to console him.
