Samir Nasri responded to PSG superstar Neymar Jr’s injury. Following Neymar Jr.’s season-ending injury for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Samir Nasri slammed detractors. On February 19, the Brazilian star’s foot was twisted during his team’s 4-3 victory over LOSC Lille at home in Ligue 1.
As a consequence, he will have surgery to repair the ligaments in his ankle. The top forward will be out for three to four months and will not return for the rest of the season.
Before getting hurt, the number 10 played in 29 games and contributed 17 assists in addition to 18 goals. Losing the former Barca attacker would be a severe setback for the Parisian team.
His absence, according to some detractors, is healthier for the Ligue 1 powerhouses. Samir Nasri, a former player for Manchester City and Arsenal, recently said this about him: “Neymar’s injury? It’s a loss to me. We tend to forget his actions at the beginning of the season too soon. Stop bringing up his way of living. He didn’t sprain his foot playing poker or eating at McDonald’s, huh?
The Parisian club will need to rely on Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi to handle the offensive load without the Brazilian attacker. PSG was eliminated from the UEFA Champions League in the round of 16 after falling to Bayern Munich 2-0 in the second match. The Parisians had suffered a 1-0 defeat in the first match.
Christophe Galtier was questioned about the effects of Neymar’s departure before PSG’s matchup against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
He declared that the squad had lost. (According to RMC Sport) Galtier: “I read the discussion about Ney. He is first unlucky. It puts the squad at a disadvantage. This year, there have been 17 goals and 11 helpers. That’s good to hear, isn’t it? No! Since I’ve been at the organization, he has always been professional despite his grave injuries. After the World Cup, he encountered some challenges. Is the squad more evenly matched? Yes. But is it better that way? Ney is a further asset to the team’s ability to produce goals.”
The status of Neymar at PSG has also been uncertain for some time. The Brazilian attacker joined the team in 2017, and since then, in 173 games for the Parisian side, he has scored 118 goals and provided 77 assists.
