PSG have confirmed Neymar has injured the same metatarsal in his right foot that led to him nearly missing the World Cup last summer, making him a major doubt for next month’s Champions League clash with Manchester United.
The world’s most expensive player hobbled off after an hour in the French Cup win over Strasbourg, leaving manager Thomas Tuchel furious with the referee for not protecting his player.
Neymar’s injury though was rather innocuous as he went down without being touched.
However, Strasbourg manager Thierry Laurey and two of his players have criticisied Neymar’s showboating by deeming it disrespectful to them on the pitch before claiming that his style of play can lead to him being on the end of some heavy treatment.
