João Neves, the 20-year-old midfielder for Paris Saint-Germain, had to come off around the 58th minute of the match against Atalanta this Wednesday evening (Matchday 1 of the Champions League) after starting the game. He was taken off due to a vague feeling of discomfort. He was replaced by Gonçalo Ramos (the 24-year-old striker), with Lee Kang-In (the 24-year-old midfielder/forward) moving to midfield.
Neves didn’t go directly to the locker room after being substituted, which is a relatively positive sign. However, it’s important to note that an injury can sometimes worsen later. He will likely undergo an examination to determine the extent of the problem. There is hope for a quick recovery, which is certainly to be hoped for, as these kinds of injuries are becoming increasingly problematic. Losing such a valuable player for several matches would be a real blow.
