French champions Paris Saint Germain have been dealt with a massive blow ahead of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash against Manchester United as Neymar suffered a foot injury.
Neymar was rushed to hospital in tears during their 2-0 win over Racing Strasbourg in the French Cup on Wednesday 23rd January. The Brazilian suffered a foot injury after the hour mark when Strasbourg midfielder Moataz Zemzemi attempted to tackle him three times before referee Johan Hamel awarded a free-kick.
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed that Neymar suffered an injury that could be severe, “Neymar is worried, because it’s the same foot, the right foot, in the same area. There’s no news for the moment, he’s gone to hospital. I need to wait for the doctor to give me news about Ney. It’s always complicated [with these kind of injuries]. The referee did not whistle after one tackle, then a second, then a third. After that, he has twisted his foot.”
The French club travel to face Manchester United at Old Trafford on Tuesday 12th February.
