PARIS — Paris St Germain’s Brazil forward Neymar faces six to eight weeks on the sidelines with an ankle sprain sustained in Sunday’s 3-1 Ligue 1 comeback victory nL1N2SJ09P at 10-man St Etienne, the French club said in a statement on Monday. The 29-year-old twisted his ankle in the dying seconds of the match after treading on the leg of St Etienne’s Yvann Macon which left him screaming in agony before he was carried off. Neymar was later pictured leaving the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard stadium on crutches. “The examinations carried out last night confirm that Neymar Jr suffers from a sprained left ankle with ligament injuries. An unavailability of six to eight weeks is to be expected,” PSG said, adding his injury will be evaluated again in 72 hours.
