Coach Christophe Galtier confirmed at the press conference after the match that Neymar had sprained his ankle. The most expensive footballer in history already had problems with his right ankle during the fall World Cup in Qatar.
Injuries complicate PSG’s key phase of the season. Not even the team’s top scorer Kylian Mbappé is in 100 percent condition, he missed three games at the beginning of February and only played the final half hour in the Champions League round of 16 with Bayern (0:1). The defending French champions suffered several point losses in the league after the New Year, but they still lead the table by five points ahead of Marseille.
