And he appeared to be in considerable pain, clutching his face and crying before receiving medical attention. Neymar was stretchered off the pitch in Paris, and PSG’s season could be in the balance.
They’re 14 points clear at the top of the table in France, so they don’t need Neymar to win the league title. But their biggest game of the season takes place on March 6.
Real Madrid visit Parc des Princes with a 3-1 lead from the first-leg of their Champions League tie with the Qatari-owned club. If PSG are to have any chance of overturning the deficit, they’ll need their best player back on the pitch.
Sprain ankle for Neymar. The question is whether the ligaments are damaged or not. The Real Madrid game is in 10 days…
