Neymar's horrific ankle injury outlined PSG's spectacular comeback victory over St. Etienne in Ligue 1 2021-22 on Sunday, November 28. The Brazilian winger had a horrific twist in his ankle during the match and had to be stretchered off. Despite Neymar's absence, 10-man PSG were bailed out of trouble by Lionel Messi, who clinched a hat-trick of assists as Mauricio Pochettino's men consolidated their lead at the top of the table. The match was also a memorable one as Sergio Ramos made his much-awaited debut for his new club after joining them in the summer transfer window from Real Madrid.

Take a Look at the Video of the Injury:

The forward was grimacing in pain following this and had to be stretchered off.

There’s pain. He’s going to have tests on Monday to find out a bit more about his injury."Neymar has had a history of injuries since joining PSG and this is a latest addition to that list.

The injury looked really bad from the naked eye and it can be expected that he is ruled out of PSG's fixtures atleast for this year. PSG have a couple of league matches ahead before they play in the Champions League when they face Club Brugge on December 7.
