L’Équipe report that additional MRI scans show that Neymar has suffered a fracture on his 5th metatarsal on his right foot and will miss at least both legs against Manchester United in the Champions League owing to this injury.
The world's most expensive player had suffered a "painful recurrence" of the injury he sustained to his right foot last season after he limped out of this week's 2-0 win over Strasbourg in the Coupe de France.
Neymar will miss both legs (February 12 at Old Trafford & March 6th at Parc des Princes) against Manchester United in the Champions' League & is out until at least the end of March, according to L'Équipe.
What is worse, the newspaper is also reporting that there is a 90% chance that Ney will need an operation and thus miss the rest of the season. A decision will be taken this afternoon.
The striker has been in sublime form this season, with 18 goals and eight assists for the Ligue 1 leaders.
United, who have won eight games on the bounce, have been given a huge boost ahead of the last-16 tie.
PSG boss Thomas Tuchel admitted after Tuesday's match that it wasn't looking good for the 26-year-old.
He said: "It's too early for Neymar. He has started getting treatment, we need to wait until next week.
"His treatment will depend on how the injury develops in the next few days. The fact Neymar and Marco are injured is a sad situation for us.

I wasn't waiting for this only why is this happening to him again and again injury will hamper his progress and he would suffer a lot he didn't go to PSG to get injured I know injuries are a part of Sportsman life but still it's Harsh just the reiteration of the same thing which happened to him last season......Hope he gets fine 😣😣😊soon .......And at the same time it would be great to see Mbappe cause there would be no Neymar and his performance will prove who was under whose shadow ........I want Neymar to heal faster and be healthy soon 🙏🙏.... GET WELL SOON NEY

This is a very sad news personally for Neymar & PSG, they paid such an amount to compete & challenge in the Champions League, the domestic trophies can be won easily, they need not require Neymar, but just when PSG need him the most, he's gone, last year he didn't play the most important match for PSG in Champions league, return leg at Parc De Princess (owing to injury) & now he's out against Manchester United.

This is a very sad news, I don't blame people who criticize Neymar and say all sorts of rubbish about him. They should see for themselves that Injuries do hinder his success.. When it's time for him to shine, Injuries come. This same thing happened last season. It's a pity. No matter what, Neymar is a great player and will always be. Wish u quick recovery Legend.
