After surgery, Neymar is discharged from the hospital and travels home with his foot in a cast

Striker Neymar, who underwent surgery on his right ankle last Friday, has already been discharged from the hospital and is traveling to Paris to get home and continue his treatment. The Brazilian posted a photo on social media with his foot in a cast.

The Paris Saint-Germain star striker will be sidelined for three to four months after picking up an injury on Feb. 19 against Lille.

The injury happened after a move in which André, from Lille, arrived to mark Neymar, who ended up spraining his ankle due to the rival’s load from behind. The bid wasn’t hard, so much so that the opposing athlete didn’t get a yellow card.

New tests were carried out over the weeks and the PSG medical team recommended a ligament repair operation in order to avoid a high risk of recurrence – as it is not the first time that Neymar has injured this ankle. The club reports that all specialists consulted confirmed the need for surgery.

Neymar already suffered a problem in the same joint in the first match of the World Cup in Qatar against Serbia and only managed to return to play for the Selection in the round of 16.
