Neymar pledged to “come back stronger” after Paris Saint-Germain announced on Monday that the forward needs ankle surgery and will be sidelined for three to four months.

The Brazilian “has had several episodes of instability in his right ankle in recent years,” the club said, adding that its medical staff “recommended a ligament repair operation to avoid a major risk of recurrence.” The Brazilian sustained an ankle injury on February 19 against Lille in Ligue 1.

With an emoji of hands in prayer, he wrote, “I’ll return stronger.

Neymar will undergo surgery in Doha “in the next few days,” according to PSG, which is owned by Qatar, and it will take “three to four months” for him to be able to train with the team again.

Given that the Ligue 1 season is set to end on June 3 and the Champions League final, should PSG advance, will take place in Istanbul a week later, it would seem that Neymar will not be able to play any further this season.

PSG, which has yet to win the Champions League, will attempt to overcome a 1-0 first-leg deficit against Bayern Munich on Wednesday in Germany.
