Paris Saint-German (PSG) star Neymar will not be in action up until the second half of the May.
The Brazilian star revealed this on Tuesday where he added that by May, he will undergo his final medical exam following foot surgery.
“The last exam is on May 17 and from there I will see,” the Paris Saint-Germain and Brazil forward told a press conference in Sao Paulo.
The 26-year-old suffered a hairline fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot as well as a twisted ankle late in PSG’s 3-0 win over Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday.
PSG said that Rodrigo Lasmar, the surgeon with the Brazilian national squad, will carry out the operation.
The Brazilian’s father had claimed the player would be out for “at least six weeks”.
Speaking to ESPN in Brazil before PSG’s announcement, Neymar Senior said: “PSG know that they will not be able to count on Neymar for the upcoming matches. His treatment will last six to eight weeks, whether there is an operation or not.”
