Most chances Neymar injury is going to take time, but it's not matter of worry about the club because right now they have plenty of time 28th December Ligue 1 is going to start with in February we will have Champions League which mean already two months which is good for them to settle things in positive way specially for the Champions League because in Ligue 1 they have no issue Messi and Mbappé both can handle things easily.
Right now both Argentina and France having fair chance for the title in World Cup with this most chances these both players will be played for some more time, and hopefully they will end this cup without any serious issue because nothing's could be tricky as full strength needed for all countries as we are entering into last 16 round and Neymar injury is surely big setback for the Brazil which is also favourite for the title.
At first, we thought that the injury of Neymar is not going to be too much problematic for Brazil. But after watching the match which Brazil played in the World Cup after Neymar got injured I think we can say that we were wrong. Brazil needs Neymar on the team. And without him, the attack on Brazil is still good, but they lose their stability.
Neymar doesn't have an injury that will sideline him for a long time. There is even a possibility that he could return and play in the world cup itself, let alone in the league. Which means that he will %100 be ready for PSG when they face a bigger opponent.
Maybe the worst case would be him missing rest of the world cup, and not play in a few easy games at first, then 20-30 minutes in other games and then he could play 70+ minutes for PSG when they need him in the UCL, that would be the worst case, and even that's not bad. Better case would be him being ready by quarter or semi finals during world cup, and he would be fully ready when he goes back to PSG.
Now there are two things that can be done. Even playing for Brazil four as much as he can whenever he gets a little bit healthier. Just so that he can play in the World Cup. Which is obviously going to have a devastating effect on his career. And the other thing is going to be waiting to get healthy so that he can play well for PSG in the Champions League. I think he should be wise and choose the letter option.
Great football player ok, but I would not have guessed that his absence would be so sought after in a team like Brazil, where each of them are valuable top-level world stars. Luckily his ankle is said to be healed until the south korea game. If he recovers well from injury in the round of 16 and quarter finals for the argentina-brazil semi-finals, he will be immensely important. Also for the rest of the season for PSG. Neymar and Messi proved yet again that they are top of the most important players in the world in this World Cup. Messi gave one of the most incredible, most perfect, most extraordinary performance of the football player I've ever seen in my life. I haven't watched a game where a football player won the game so alone in a long time. There was nothing he didn't do. If he had a talented man beside him like he has in PSG instead of Martinez, he would have scored at least 2 of Messi's incredible passes and finished this match 4-1. These performances make one very hopeful for PSG's future in CL. With a couple of transfers after the WC, they can be maybe the biggest force in CL.

PSG is not a favorite team when it comes to the Champions League. We have seen how they have performed in the Champions League previously. Even when they have a good lead, they somehow throw it and get thrashed by their opponent. And that’s exactly what has been happening since the previous few seasons. Last season in the Champions League against Real Madrid, they had a good lead but then lost.

And who can forget the infamous Barcelona versus PSG Champions League comeback! PSG is a good team and all, but they are not very strong when it comes to the Champions League. Actually, I am going to say it, they are not going to win the Champions League this season as well.

Lens have impressed everyone by their performance until this point. They have been doing a really good job about keeping a decent gap with PSG in the standings. However it is still very difficult for Lens to keep up with PSG until the end of the season. I know what Lille did in the 2020-21 season but I don't think Lens have the capacity to repeat that.

Being the champions in the Ligue 1 is too difficult for a team except PSG in these years. There is a difference like a cliff among the rest of the teams and PSG. Most likely PSG will be pulling away from them much earlier in the season.
They are 5 points behind Paris Saint Germain, maybe that is an insignificant margin if we look at it in the Premier League, but it will be different if we see this distance in Ligue 1, especially the team above it is Paris Saint Germain which we all know that they are the only team that has many star players and also has everything compared to the other teams here.
Lens have done good things so far, but I have to be honest they won't be able to overtake Paris Saint Germain who are at the top of the table even though they have a 5 point margin.


You are very right. No team is over taking Paris for that league title. They are miles ahead of every other team in the league. If anything I think they'll extend their lead. They've got so such quality and squad debt that they can actually do without a key player. There was a time they were without Mbappe and they still won their matches. Neymer is in a good form so is Mbappe while Messi is just Messi, the genius. They play Bayern in the UCL and I think they'll com out on top after both legs. I can say if they can win the champions league but I'm very sure the will win the league.

If we look at the relegation xona, we will see teams struggling to get out of the red zone. The competition for that position is still very interesting so far, because the points earned by each team are still very tight and there is not too big of a margin. They only have a difference of 1 point between each other even in positions 17, 16 and 15 have the same points between Auxerre, Brest and Nantes. Most likely the position changed in just one week.

Neymar could be a great player but if you have other great players then you should be fine. Brazil is a great team and there is a slight possibility that Neymar could heal by semi finals or at worse finals but that wouldn't be a good time to put him in, returning from injury for the most important game would be taking a risk.

On the other hand, they still have amazing players that will play greatly for them, Neymar is amazing of course, but not like they drop from Neymar to third division player, they just put Vini to left, and Gabriel to striker and they are fine. All in all I believe that it is not going to be a problem for them in the long run.

Whenever I see Neymar as injured it makes me worried. Maybe this time is not that serious thankfully but still you know what I mean. Because he has been an injury-prone player for a long time. He had to deal with some injuries some of which lasted a little long in the previous season. There were some claims like he was faking some injuries in the same season as well but I don't know about that.  Grin  Anyway PSG will need him healthy after the returnal of the World Cup.

Because they have a really tough Champions League matchup against Bayern Munich waiting for them. They need Neymar in both matches as he has been one of the most productive players of the team. He has even more impressive stats than Mbappe in the Ligue 1 for example.

Lyon team managed a win in their friendly game against the belgian team leuven while they did good offensively by scoring five goals their defense is much weaker and they conceided three from a medium level belgian team it seems that they need some fresh playersin the next transfer window  and a change in their team strategy because if they want one of the european spots the change must happen now while there is a world cup break.

Neymar will recover soon, at least that is the hope that Brazilian fans will receive at this world cup.
It's a shame that Neymar had to undergo treatment after he picked up an injury quite quickly in Brazil's first match in the group stages. It was certainly not something to be expected, but this had certainly caused him great suffering.

Brazil will face South Korea in the round of 16, it will be a difficult game but I think Brazil will be able to handle it without Neymar. I hope that Neymar has the opportunity to play again during this world cup, which means I hope his injury will heal soon.
Neymar have recovery and already for his national team against South  Korea on 16 round, seems PSG not have to worry about Neymar injured actually Brazil have announced about Neymar already playing for the next match. Not guarantee with Neymar can include in starting eleven because he was absent last two matches with Brazil and actually he still needs time for recovering.

I am little scare with Neymar condition can get injured again because has difference position between national team and PSG, playing under central forward position make Neymar have ever touch ball and become target opponent team make him injured, current position with PSG Neymar always playing as left side and he has contributing when counter attack building but with national team he has active playing as defensive and attacking moment.

The last time is saw Neymar in the match against Cameroon he was not looking so sad. Since he wasn't sad it showed that he is recovering very fast and could play any moment from now. He needs to be very fit before he could play because his type of football is not what he plays and dodge his leg. He is a player that likes to dribble  3 to 5 players at a time. I pray he recovers and play again because I love to see him play.

There are this kind of rumours going on these days. There might be a reunion among Fabregas, Messi and Suarez at Inter Miami in the near future. But it still doesn't seem likely to me. I'm not having any problem with Suarez and Fabregas in this rumour in fact. It would be totally normal to see them there. Fabregas is just playing for a Serie B team now and Suarez is already outside Europe. I wouldn't expect any of them to have any issue with a transfer to Inter Miami.

But I don't think Messi would be willing to leave PSG yet. He still has a Champions League title to achieve with PSG. I think Messi will continue to play for them one more season. It depends on whether Barcelona make an offer to sign him back maybe but I don't think Barcelona would do this while their financial status is bad.
Most chances nothing like this is going to happen because we all know Suarez Is already having contract in his hometown club, and he will not do anything like this in near future with Messi is also happy at PSG and most chances after world cup he will extend his contract which will allow him to stay for two more years because right now both parties are happy with this all which is going on after arrival of Messi in PSG, but I was feeling we will have Ronaldo who is going to join Inter Miami in coming days, but this is also not confirm because in coming transfer window we will have all clear updates about him and his future in soccer.

With both legendary players are having special love affair with Champions League, so things are not clear how will be they leave UEFA if they want to stay into this mega event, but media is creating mess up for their own sake.

The question is whether Mbappe can keep their selection together after the winter break. Then we will have another transfer window and Mbappe will be pulled from all sides to get it. PSG Will easily become champions without Mbappe. But will Messi bring his form back to PSG or has he done his best in the French league in recent months to get in shape for the World Cup that is now underway? PSG has very little challenge. But if France becomes world champion, it will also have a positive effect on the number of teams that can participate in the CL and EL.

I don't know how it is possible if France wins the World Cup and then a lot of Ligue 1 teams will play in the Champions League and Europa League?
Has the rule been like that all along? About the national team if winning the World Cup title will get an increase in the number of clubs that get tickets to play in the Champions League and Europa League? Because to be honest, so far I don't know about those rules because I think. Even though the national team won the World Cup title but still, the achievement of the national team will not have an impact on the clubs or the number of clubs to get more tickets for the Champions League and Europa League.

Because as far as I know, events like this World Cup will only have a good impact on players who can play well during the event.
At least the impact has often occurred, when there are players who can play well at World Cup events and then of course big clubs quickly make lavish offers to players who have good statistics during the World Cup but not to clubs from that country.
Also about Mbappe, anything can still happen but I only believe that Mbappe will not be at PSG forever because of course one day Mbappe will definitely leave PSG.

Today, I read from various sports news sources and dailymail. reports that Brazil manager Tite, confirmed that Neymar will return to training ahead of their round of 16 tie against South Korea. however, he declined to elaborate on whether Neymar would be used in the starting line-up or on the bench. So, I assume that Neymar's injury is not serious if he can be sure to train with his squad.

nevertheless, refer to what you posted. yes, we agree, even if Neymar has to be absent for an indefinite amount of time. that, it will not be a serious problem for PSG in Ligue 1. even though there are only Mbappe and Messi, PSG is still too strong for their opponents in the French league competition. after all, there are Pablo Sarabia and Hugo Ekitike who can be rotated by Galtier, although they are not as sharp and good as Neymar.

however, if Neymar is absent in the match vs Bayern Munich. I'm sure PSG will have enough trouble breaking into their opponent's goal. fortunately, the good news is that Messi and Mbappe have not experienced any significant problems so far in the Qatar world cup. and I hope, Neymar really has fully recovered.
I think Neymar has already recovered a lot. Because some news is heard that he will play in the match against Korea. If this news is true then Neymar will definitely play against Bayern Munich if he is fit. With Messi, Neymar and Mbappe on the attack, PSG can easily defeat Bayern Munich.
Neymar is key player for the success of Brazil in this World Cup and mostly chances he will join his team in coming round of 16 match even things are no clear about his injury but as Tite announces he is joining training session with this we can expect positive development about his injury because right now things are not easy for any team with we already have few big upsets and exits from world cup for big teams with this most chances they will not take any chance about Neymar, and he will join his team because in case of success most chances we will be having semifinal between Argentina vs Brazil because these both teams are doing good job and can go through until last four in this event.

Neymar's absence wouldn't be a big problem in the Ligue 1 matches even if he doesn't return until then. Because PSG are still too powerful against the remaining teams in the league. Mbappe and Messi would already be enough to obtain comfortable victories in many matches. As you said Neymar is returning very soon so there isn't any problem for PSG. They will just hope for Brazil to have him playing for as short time as possible. If he gets another injury this time it might be more serious.

He is already an injury-prone player you know. PSG had to face with a serious injury for Neymar in the previous season. He missed so many matches due to this. PSG need to keep all of their players in the trio away from an injury before their Champions League matches. Otherwise the Champions League title would be no more than a dream.

Barcelona still hasn't fully paid him what they owe him so I don't know what has to happen for Messi to go back there. In addition, Barcelona's financial situation worsened after their collapse in the Champions League. Maybe Laporta will find new magic levers but it all looks fantastic, the bankruptcy of Barcelona looks much more real  Grin

Neymar is the one performing the most well for PSG currently. So not having him available is going to be a problem for PSG.
In only 14 matches this season, he has scored 11 goals and dished out nine assists. This is a very positive record for him so far.
I am sure that Lionel Messi and Mbappé are going to be able to play well for PSG. I am not sure if Messi will be able to perform as well without Neymar, and this is my main concern at this point. Because we all know that Messi is a great friend of Neymar, but he does not have that type of friendship with Mbappé at all. So, I personally think that if Mama takes a long time to recover, it is going to be a problem for PSG. Especially in Champions League matches.
Most chances Neymar injury is going to take time, but it's not matter of worry about the club because right now they have plenty of time 28th December Ligue 1 is going to start with in February we will have Champions League which mean already two months which is good for them to settle things in positive way specially for the Champions League because in Ligue 1 they have no issue Messi and Mbappé both can handle things easily.
Right now both Argentina and France having fair chance for the title in World Cup with this most chances these both players will be played for some more time, and hopefully they will end this cup without any serious issue because nothing's could be tricky as full strength needed for all countries as we are entering into last 16 round and Neymar injury is surely big setback for the Brazil which is also favourite for the title.
At first, we thought that the injury of Neymar is not going to be too much problematic for Brazil. But after watching the match which Brazil played in the World Cup after Neymar got injured I think we can say that we were wrong. Brazil needs Neymar on the team. And without him, the attack on Brazil is still good, but they lose their stability.

Neymar and Messi proved yet again that they are top of the most important players in the world in this World Cup. Messi gave one of the most incredible, most perfect, most extraordinary performance of the football player I've ever seen in my life. I haven't watched a game where a football player won the game so alone in a long time. There was nothing he didn't do. If he had a talented man beside him like he has in PSG instead of Martinez, he would have scored at least 2 of Messi's incredible passes and finished this match 4-1. These performances make one very hopeful for PSG's future in CL. With a couple of transfers after the WC, they can be maybe the biggest force in CL.
