Neymar will lay on the operating table

"Paris Saint-Germain" has confirmed that the club's star Neymar will undergo surgery. The world's most expensive footballer was taken off the field on Sunday in the "Ligue 1" match against "Marseille" due to an ankle injury, later diagnosed as a broken foot bone. This will be a significant loss for the Parisians, as they have a crucial UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against Real Madrid next week. "After three days of advanced treatment following a strict medical protocol, a joint decision was made by Paris Saint-Germain and the medical staff of the Brazilian national team," the official statement reads. "Along with the player, it was decided that Neymar will undergo surgery at the end of this week." "Dr. Rodrigo Lasmar will perform the operation, with the assistance of Prof. Saillantas, representing PSG." Before the injury, the striker scored 29 goals and provided 18 assists in over 30 matches this season.
