EKO HOT BLOG reports that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) football club is in a state of panic after one of their star players, Neymar, was carried off the pitch on a stretcher during a match against Lille on Sunday.
The injury comes just weeks before a crucial Champions League fixture against Bayern Munich, with the Brazilian forward being a key player in the team’s line-up. The match is scheduled for March 8, 2023, and PSG needs to beat Bayern by two goals to progress to the next stage of the tournament.
Although the extent of Neymar’s injury is unknown, critics have speculated that he may have gotten injured deliberately to attend his sister’s birthday party.
Rafaella Santos, Neymar’s sister, celebrates her birthday on March 11, and he has consecutively been injured during that period since 2013. Despite looking visibly in pain on Sunday night, his critics are already drawing conclusions.
However, it’s worth noting that Neymar missed his sister’s birthday celebration last year after ten years of consistently attending the event to make himself available for a game against Bordeaux on the same day.
PSG fans are hoping that Neymar’s injury won’t be so severe that he would miss the must-win Champions League return leg against Bayern Munich.
In the event that he misses the game and attends his sister’s birthday party two days later, fans may not forgive him for a long time, unless PSG manages to knock out Bayern Munich, which seems almost impossible.
Neymar getting injured prior to sister’s birthday has become a running gag in the player’s career.
