Paris Saint-Germain 'blame' Neymar's lifestyle for constant injury woes
The Brazilian will miss yet another big Champions League game for the French side
For one reason or another, Neymar has a bad habit of being injured when Paris Saint-Germain's biggest games of the season come around.
The Brazilian forward will be out for a month and will miss the first leg of the Champions League last 16 tie against Barcelona -- and potentially the second leg.
In France, they're analysing the reasons why Neymar has suffered so many injuries since joining PSG from Barça in a €222m world record deal in 2017.
The prestigious newspaper L'Equipe says PSG are annoyed at his sleep pattern and also with his diet, with the suggestion that his habits are not fitting of a professional sportsman.
It's not the first time Neymar's missed a big Champions League game for the French side. He was absent for the 2018 elimination to Real Madrid and the defeat to Manchester United a year later.
In Paris, they're annoyed with the player, although they also acknowledge that opposition players' attitudes are also not helping with the way they go after him.
However, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have experienced the same throughout their long careers and, usually, are available for their side's knockout games in Europe.
