Neymar begins his recovery from injury in Barcelona Ligue 1 PSG to manage his treatment

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar has travelled to Barcelona to begin his recovery from a metatarsal injury he suffered, which will see him sidelined for ten weeks.

The Brazilian will go through some additional medical procedures in Spain before returning to Paris, where PSG are expected to manage his treatment.

Hakim Chalabi, director of the prestigious Aspetar Clinic in Doha, was the doctor appointed by the French club to supervise Neymar's progress.

The decision to follow a conservative treatment and avoid surgery was taken in collaboration with the Brazilian national team's doctor, Rodrigo Lasmar.

The Brazilian specialist was the one who operated on the player last season, as Neymar stayed at his native country throughout his recovery with the aim of being ready for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
