Neymar's horrific injury run has seen him miss over a year of football

The Brazilian has become far too familiar with the physio’s room in recent years as he struggles to live up to his potential in Paris

Among the many ways to describe Neymar, 'injury prone' has sadly become an all too familiar one of late.

The Paris Saint-Germain star is once again set to miss up to a month of football after picking up a hamstring injury while on international duty with Brazil last week.

Neymar limping from the pitch is an image fans of the talented attacker are now very accustomed to seeing as the 27-year-old struggles to get his body right during what should be the peak of his career.

Since moving to PSG from Barcelona in 2017, Neymar's injury woes have only worsened as he fails to live up to the lofty expectations his world record €222 million (£198m) transfer fee demanded.

According to Transfermarkt, prior to his latest injury, the Brazilian had already missed 53 matches for the Ligue 1 champions since making the move to Paris.

That's in stark contrast to the 29 games he skipped during four years with the Catalans.

All in all, since leaving Santos in 2013 as a 21-year-old, Neymar has been sidelined for a total of 469 days. That's more than a year and three months of being stuck on the treatment table.

And this number is only set to move closer to the 500-day mark, considering he's expected to miss a month with his latest injury.

Currently both injured and suspended from the Champions League, PSG will once again have to find a way to win in Europe without Neymar when they face Club Brugge on Tuesday.

Having won both of their group games to date in Neymar's absence, Thomas Tuchel's men are showing signs they can shine in Europe without the forward, who will be desperately hoping he can get his body right for the knockout rounds this season.

Overall, Neymar has scored a stunning 55 goals and added 29 assists across just 63 appearances for PSG.

Those numbers may speak for themselves, but it's his recent run of injuries that are currently screaming the loudest - an issue that he must overcome soon if he is to truly cement his place as one of the game's greats.
