Paris St. Germain is expected to be without Neymar when it travels to Montpellier for a Ligue 1 game on Wednesday as the Brazil forward is suffering from muscle fatigue, the club said on Tuesday.

“Neymar has muscle fatigue and will remain in care today,” the Ligue 1 leader said in a statement.

PSG has 48 points from 20 games and leads second-placed RC Lens by three points.

Christophe Galtier’s side has had a mediocre start to 2023, losing its last two away games at Lens and Stade Rennais before being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Stade de Reims on Sunday.

It hosts Bayern Munich in its Champions League last 16 first leg on February 14.
