The Brazilian is now healing from the stitches which will likely keep him from playing football for the remainder of the season.
PSG said: “Neymar Jr underwent surgery late Friday morning at ASPETAR Hospital in Doha, by Professors Pieter D’Hooghe (ASPETAR), James Calder (Fortius Clinic London), and Rodrigo Lasmar (Brazilian National Team). The intervention went very well. The player will now follow a rest and care protocol.”

The Brazilian has pledged to “come back stronger” from his present injury, although it’s likely that he won’t be able to play in competitive matches until the next season.
