Neymar: PSG have been afraid to play me but I've wanted to be involved

The Brazilian has been stuck on the sidelines recently, much to his own despair

Neymar has revealed Paris Saint-Germain have been too afraid to play him in recent weeks, despite the attacker wanting to get back on to the pitch.

The 28-year-old wasn't selected for PSG's past three Ligue 1 matches due to injury and was a doubt for Tuesday's Champions League round of 16 clash agaisnt Borussia Dortmund in Germany.

Neymar did however start that match and despite himself scoring in the second half, couldn't help his side avoid a 2-1 first-leg defeat.
