(Reuters) - Paris St Germain forward Neymar will miss the next two games due to an ankle injury, coach Christophe Galtier said on Friday, ruling him out of their Ligue 1 clash with Nantes and the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich.
The Brazil international was carried off the pitch on a stretcher during PSG's 4-3 win over Lille on Feb. 19 with what was later confirmed to be an ankle ligament injury.
"Not having him is a big loss, but maybe we can add another midfielder to balance the team," Galtier told a news conference on Friday. "To tell you that Ney's absence is trivial, no. You have to be one of the best passers in Ligue 1 and it's still a detrimental absence for us."
