<p>Paris St Germain forward Neymar will miss the next two games due to an ankle injury, coach Christophe Galtier said on Friday, ruling him out of their Ligue 1 clash with Nantes and the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Bayern Munich.</p>.<p>The Brazil international was carried off the pitch on a stretcher during PSG's 4-3 win over Lille on February 19 with what was later confirmed to be an ankle ligament injury.</p>.<p>Galtier added that he plans to fill Neymar's place with a midfielder instead of another attacker, as he did in last week's 3-0 win over rivals Olympique de Marseille, where Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe led the team to a second league win in a row.</p>.<p>"Not having him (Neymar) is a big loss, but maybe we can add another midfielder to balance the team," Galtier told a news conference on Friday.</p>.<p>"The work of my two attackers (Messi and Mbappe) and my three midfielders has been remarkable in Marseille. Without Ney we will be with three midfielders and two attackers.</p>.<p>"To tell you that Ney's absence is trivial, no. You have to be one of the best passers in Ligue 1 and it's still a detrimental absence for us."</p>.<p>The reigning Ligue 1 champions, who will also be without defender Achraf Hakimi, look to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the Champions League away at Bayern Munich on Wednesday, but Galtier's priority is Saturday's fixture against Nantes.</p>.<p>"Our squad is weakened by suspensions and injuries, we have to work our way through the league," the French manager said.</p>.<p>"I hope the players don't have the game against Bayern on Wednesday in the back of their minds. It's important to get the third league win in a row."</p>
