Jordan Amavi Says Neymar Encourages Fouls Following Injury Against Marseille

Marseille defender Jordan Amavi has accused Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar of encouraging fouls against him following his injury in Sunday's showdown between the two sides.

Neymar is set for a spell on the sidelines after he broke a metatarsal and sprained his ankle following a tackle from Bouna Sarr in the showdown at the Parc des Princes, per Sky Sports News. It means the Brazilian is set to miss PSG's key UEFA Champions League showdown with Real Madrid next week.

Despite the serious nature of the injury, Amavi has claimed Neymar is culpable in these types of incidents because of his playing style.
