While Neymar's recent leg damage is a gigantic hit to the French giant club, it represents a brilliant open door for Angel di Maria and different players from their gathered squad.
Neymar will miss PSG's Champions League, second leg against Madrid, and the brazilian won't highlight for his club again this season, with the specialist who will work on his broke foot in Brazil saying he could be out for three months.
That implies psg will be without their 222 million-euro star player — who landed in Brazil on Thursday for surgery on Saturday.
However, the player destined to take the advantage is Di Maria, himself feted as the player to transform PSG into veritable Champions League contenders when landed from Manchester United for 63 million euros in 2015.
The star midfielder may not be the favourite for manager Unai Emery any longer, however he has still most likely been their best player in 2018, benefitting whenever Neymar, Kylian Mbappe or Edinson Cavani have been absent.
A brace goal in Wednesday's 3-0 thrashing on Marseille in the French Cup quarter-finals implies Di Maria has now scored 12 times in 2018.
"We will miss Neymar, however the group is getting ready to manage without him," said Emery, who saw Mbappe fall off at half-time against Marseille.
