Neymar absence ‘is a problem’ for PSG against Manchester United says Buffon

Neymar’s absence against Manchester United is going to a problem for Paris Saint-Germain, according to goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.

The star attacker went down in January against Strasbourg, suffering a broken foot – the same injury which sidelined him for most of the second half of last season.

His return date remains a question, but he will not feature for the Ligue 1 champions against the Red Devils when the sides face off in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
