Brazil's star footballer Neymar and his girlfriend Bruna Biancardi, who is a professional model, announced their pregnancy with a special post on Wednesday.

"We dream about your life, plan your arrival and knowing that you are here to complete our love, makes our days much happier. You will arrive in a beautiful family, with your brother, grandparents, uncles and aunties who already love you very much! Come soon son, we are waiting for you!" Neymar wrote in an Instagram post.

In the first week of March, it was learnt that Neymar is set to be sidelined for the rest of the season after Paris Saint-Germain said on Monday the forward requires ankle surgery and will be out of action for three to four months.

Neymar injured his ankle on Feb 19 against Lille in Ligue 1.
