World Cup winner Dugarry: I'm glad for PSG Neymar injured

France legend Christophe Dugarry has criticized Brazil star Neymar this week.

The Paris Saint-Germain forward is likely out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury.

However, Dugarry is not too concerned, as he believes the absence may be a blessing in disguise for PSG as they take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week.

"I'm glad for PSG that Neymar is injured. I believe it's an amazing stroke of luck for Christophe Galtier," Dugarry told RMC Sport.

"This team is way more balanced with a five-man defense, three midfielders and a [Lionel] Messi/[Kylian] Mbappé duo."

PSG have to overturn a 1-0 deficit if they are to progress to the last eight of the Champions League.
