Neymar underwent season-ending surgery on his damaged right ankle on Friday.

Paris Saint-Germain stated that the 31-year-old Brazil forward 'was successfully operated on and will now follow a protocol of rest and treatment.' He is expected to be sidelined for up to four months.

Neymar was injured on February 19 in a 4-3 win over Lille. He also injured his right ankle in Brazil’s opening match at last year’s World Cup in Qatar, but the forward was able to return later in the tournament.

The Brazilian has been sidelined by foot, groin, rib and ankle injuries since joining PSG for a record €222 million from Barcelona in 2017.
