PARIS – Paris St Germain forward Neymar has been ruled out of Wednesday's Champions League last-16 second leg against Barcelona, the French side said.
A PSG statement on Tuesday said the Brazilian, who left Barcelona for the Ligue 1 side for a world record fee of €222 million ($264.11 million) in 2017, was continuing an individual recovery programme from a thigh injury sustained last month.
Neymar missed the first leg of the tie at the Camp Nou but his absence barely affected his side, who romped to a 4-1 win thanks to a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick.
