Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar said he wanted "a new metatarsal" in a "tearful" speech made at a party celebrating his 27th birthday on Sunday.
The Brazilian, who turned 27 on Tuesday, is expected to be out of action until April after he suffered a fractured metatarsal in January, and he was overcome by emotion as he spoke to friends and family at the party in Paris.
Per ESPN.com, he said: "What I wanted the most as a birthday present today is a new metatarsal, so I could be on the field fighting and doing what I love the most, which is playing soccer.
