The Brazilian, who suffered the injury on February 19 against Lille in Ligue 1, “has had several episodes of instability in the right ankle in recent years,” said the club, adding that its medical staff “recommended a ligament repair operation” be undertaken in Doha.
PSG, still waiting for a maiden Champions League title, bid to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit in the last 16 against Bayern Munich in Germany on Wednesday.
Neymar, who has scored 18 goals in all competitions this season, was in fine form for the French champions before the World Cup break.
Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona in 2017 and scored 118 goals for the club in 173 matches.
He has suffered from foot issues in the past, missing parts of the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons due to injury, as well as two games at the 2022 World Cup due to ankle ligament damage.
But the 31-year-old has netted only twice in eight league appearances since returning from Qatar, where Brazil were dumped out in the quarter-finals by Croatia.
Neymar has previously missed matches in the Champions League knock-out phase due to injuries in 2018, 2019 and 2021.
