That’s it for Neymar in 2021 – the silver lining is that it looked worse than it really is

Paris Saint-Germain were victorious after another unconvincing performance. They had to put a lot of sweat in order to beat a team fighting for survival – but thanks to Lionel Messi’s hat-trick of assists, the Saints won all three points in the match against Saint-Etienne (3-1). What worries PSG’s fans the most after the match is Neymar’s injury which cast a shadow over the triumph.He left the pitch on a stretcher and the venue of Stade Geoffroy-Guichard on crutches. The first assessments of the condition of the Brazilian footballer have arrived – according to RMC Sport journalist Hadrien Grenier, the Saints’ creative number 10 will spend six weeks off the pitch.Messi’s hat-trick of assist, Neymar’s gnarly injury – with referee’s help, PSG barely beat the 19th team of Ligue 1He twisted his ankle very awkwardly at the end of the match, made an instantly painful grimace and ended up on the ground. He was taken out on a stretcher, so it seemed that he suffered a very serious injury. Turns out it is not that serious after all. He was diagnosed with an ankle sprain, certainly not harmless, considering that he is expected to recover in about a month and a half.When you look at the schedule, you come to the conclusion that Neymar will miss the duels at home against Nice, Monaco and most likely Brest in the Ligue 1, as well as the meeting with Bruges at the Parc de Princes as part of the Champions League. He will not be available to Mauricio Pochettino for away Ligue 1 duels against Lens, Lorient and Lyon.Ouch! 😰 #Neymar pic.twitter.com/GUYI6sVl6N— 🦓✍🏻 (@RodeRomi) November 28, 2021 Another injury blow for the Saints and the Argentinian expert, who has just started bettering the form of his attacking quartet. However, Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria will have to wait for the former football player of Santos and Barcelona to recover.Neymar has made 14 appearances in the current season – he has not recorded any goal contributions in the Champions League, while he has three goals and assists in Ligue 1.pic.twitter.com/7SeJgwzKvc— 𝗡𝗲𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲 (@Neymoleque) November 28, 2021
