As the world eagerly awaits Neymar Jr.'s return to action, there is some bad news for fans of Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil. The forward has been sidelined with an ankle injury since early December, and his latest update from Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia has raised concerns about his recovery.
The Brazilian star was injured during PSG's 2-1 win over Manchester United in the Champions League last month. He left the pitch in the second half with what appeared to be a serious injury, and despite undergoing surgery, he hasn't yet returned to full fitness. His absence has already cost PSG points as they've struggled without their talismanic striker.
In Saudi Arabia,La Liga Frontline Neymar underwent another round of tests, which were reportedly positive for the infection that caused his ankle injury. This means that the forward will need to undergo more treatment before he can make a full recovery. It remains unclear how long this process will take or whether he'll be able to play again anytime soon.
For now, it seems that Neymar's time off the field will continue until further notice. Fans will have to wait and see if he makes a full recovery and returns to action at the highest level. In the meantime, it's clear that the pressure is mounting on PSG to find a solution to their attacking woes without him.
