Neymar left the pitch in tears Wednesday evening after suffering what his Paris Saint-Germain manager said was an injury to “the same foot, the same place,” referring to the foot injury that sidelined the Brazilian star from February 2018 until the World Cup last summer.
The injury occurred in a 2-0 French Cup victory over against Strasbourg in which Neymar was fouled a number of times. At one point, he was fouled three times over a short span by Moataz Zemzemi and responded with a “rainbow flick” over Zemzemi’s head. After that, he had to leave the pitch, apparently in tears.
