Neymar was injured in a foul by Thiago Mendes. Paris Saint-Germain not only loses the top game against Olympique Lyon in Ligue 1, but also Neymar. The superstar is carried off the field crying.
Paris Saint-Germain has lost the league lead in Ligue 1 – to make matters worse, Thomas Tuchel’s team is also threatened with a prolonged loss of Neymar.
The superstar was carried away in tears in the 0: 1 (0: 1) defeat in the top game against Olympique Lyon in stoppage time. PSG are only third with 28 points behind OSC Lille and Lyon (both 29).
Neymar was injured in a foul by Thiago Mendes (90 + 9). At the tackle of the orienteering professional, who saw the red card for it, Neymar got stuck with his left foot in the grass and apparently had great pain in his left ankle. After a long break in treatment, the Brazilian was finally transported away on a stretcher.
“We have to wait for the examinations tomorrow,” said Tuchel on Sunday evening. Neymar was seriously injured and had to be carried off the pitch in tears. Coach Thomas Tuchel and Paris St. Germain lost the Ligue 1 top match against Olympique Lyon and lost the championship lead. PSG lost 0: 1 (0: 1) and are only third with 28 points behind OSC Lille and Lyon (both 29).
More serious than the fourth defeat of the season in the 14th game is perhaps the injury to superstar Neymar, who had to be carried off the pitch after a brutal foul and minutes of treatment.
Orienteering professional Thiago Mendes saw red (90th + 9th) in stoppage time for the hard entry against Neymar, in which the Brazilian twisted his left ankle extremely. “We have to wait for the examinations tomorrow,” said Tuchel after the game.
Tino Kadewere (35th) shot the guests to victory. The German national player Thilo Kehrer came on as a substitute for Paris, which won the Champions League group victory over Istanbul Basaksehir (5-1) during the week.
Lille took the lead on Sunday with a 2-1 (2-1) win over Girondins Bordeaux. Lyon are tied for second.
