DOHA: The Aspetar hospital in Qatar announced on Wednesday that the upcoming surgery on Brazil star Neymar’s injured ankle will be led by a renowned British specialist.
The sports medicine clinic at the hospital has confirmed that James Calder, MD, will be performing surgery on the 31-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward.
The surgery will be performed by “Aspetar’s expert ankle surgeon, Professor Pieter D’Hooghe,” and “London’s renowned ankle surgeon, Professor James Calder,” according to a statement released by the clinic.
The Brazilian had been seen by Aspetar and Calder in January of this year.
There is a chance that Neymar could be out of commission for four months due to his injury, effectively ending his season.
