Following ankle surgery, Neymar will "come back stronger."

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.

Neymar tweeted that he wouldn't let his most recent injury get him down.

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.

Neymar Jr. has experienced multiple episodes of instability in his right ankle recently, according to a statement from PSG.

"After his most recent sprain, which occurred on February 20, the medical staff advised a ligament repair procedure to reduce the likelihood of a serious recurrence. This requirement has been confirmed by every expert consulted.

His return to training is anticipated to be three to four months away.

Christophe Galtier, the club's coach, stated that Neymar's absence would be a significant loss.

He is a significant loss because he is among Ligue 1's top scorers and assist producers, according to Galtier, who spoke to the media.

We might have two midfielders and three attackers without Neymar, or three midfielders and two attackers. There are players who can enter the game from a variety of positions.

With an eight-point advantage over Olympique de Marseille in second place, PSG is currently leading the league. In the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 match against Bayern Munich, they are down 1-0.
