Neymar will be out of the last matches of Paris Saint-Germain in 2020. The French club confirmed this Saturday that the sprain suffered by the Brazilian striker in his left ankle also caused a “bone contusion area” and that his return is scheduled for January next year.
With that, Neymar does not face Lille this Sunday, in a match on the 16th round of the French Championship. Match worth leading the competition – Lille has 32 points, one more than PSG. He will also miss next Wednesday’s appointment against Strasbourg.

The first medical evaluations showed that the problem in the left ankle, a sprain, it wasn’t serious. So much so that coach Thomas Tuchel even considered the attacker’s participation in this Sunday’s game against Lille. But now, after more tests carried out by the club, it has been confirmed that he will not return in 2020.
Neymar has played 12 of PSG’s 21 games this season. He scored nine goals and had five assists.
Paris Saint-Germain’s first match in 2021 will be on January 6, against Saint-Étienne, also for the French Championship. The latest prediction is that Neymar is back for this match.
