After suffering an ankle injury against Lille the week before, the Brazilian faces a lengthy absence from the game.
Neymar missed PSG 3-0 win over Marseille in the Ligue 1 last weekend.
The superstar forward faces a time crunch to be fit for PSG's crucial Champions League round of 16 second leg against Bayern Munich, and early indications suggest he won't play.
On February 19, Neymar scored and assisted during PSG's chaotic 4-3 victory over Lille. He was stretchered off early in the second half.
He didn't break anything, but he did have a sprain, according to later scans.
When asked about Neymar's injury following the Brazilian's diagnosis, PSG boss Christophe Galtier did not show much sympathy.
There have been very few or no updates regarding when Neymar might play again. However, it does not appear likely that he will be healthy enough to travel to Bayern on March 8. He would only have been out for two and a half weeks at that point.
Although there has been no confirmation, Neymar's absence is anticipated to last at least a month.
The Brazilian could play again in PSG's Ligue 1 match against Rennes exactly one month after sustaining the injury, so that could be his return date. Neymar, on the other hand, could return after the international break if the club decides not to rush the superstar back.
