PSG will be planning their do-or-die Champions League clash with Real Madrid without their €222m signing after his double injury against Marseille
Unai Emery confirmed on Tuesday afternoon the overwhelming likelihood of Paris Saint-Germain playing against Real Madrid in next week’s Champions League last 16 second-leg tie without the world’s most expensive footballer.
Neymar rolled his ankle and sprained it at the tail end of PSG’s 3-0 Ligue 1 win against Olympique Marseille on Sunday night and subsequent examinations by the club’s medical department revealed a crack in the playmaker’s fifth metatarsal. An injury to that part of the foot takes time to heal, no matter if you’re worth €222 million or €2.
