PARIS Saint-Germain (PSG) striker Neymar will be out for four weeks with a hamstring injury he suffered playing for Brazil, the French club said Monday.

Neymar limped off in the 12th minute Sunday as Brazil drew 1-1 against Nigeria in a friendly in Singapore.

PSG said that an MRI scan showed that their star player had suffered “a grade two lesion” in his left hamstring.

“Neymar underwent an MRI scan this afternoon... a medical check up will be done in eight days but his return to competition is expected in four weeks depending on the evolution of the injury,” PSG said in a statement.

If he is out until Nov. 11, Neymar will miss four French league matches, including a trip to Marseille on Oct. 27, and PSG’s two Champions League games against Club Brugge.

The world’s most expensive player had been due to make his Champions League return against Bruges next Tuesday after serving a two-match suspension.

This latest in a catalog of injuries since joining PSG in 2017 came after a promising start to the season with four goals in five Ligue 1 matches.(SD-Agencies)
