Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed Neymar will be out for 10 weeks with metatarsal injury and will miss both Champions League clashes against Man Utd.
The Brazilian sustained a metatarsal injury in his right foot during PSG's clash against Strasbourg in the Coupe de France round of 16 match on 23 January and he received a thorough examination at the club's training ground on Tuesday.
Following the review from renowned medical experts, Neymar has been ruled out of action for ten weeks, which will see him miss a crucial run of fixtures for the French champions.
The mercurial winger will play no part in PSG's trip to Old Trafford on February 12, nor will he be available to play in the return leg at Parc Des Princes March 3.
This latest news will come as a huge blow to supporters and PSG boss Thomas Tuchel, given the fact that Neymar has had such a huge influence on their 2018-19 campaign so far.
The 26-year-old has scored 19 goals in 21 appearances across all competitions this season, helping PSG storm clear at the top of Ligue 1.

Oh I do hope he gets better. Even tho I really don't like him cuz of his Money Minded attitude, I can't let that get on the way of kindness. He's a great young talent and even the loss of one day in his career Is terrible. Hope to see him up and running earlier than the given time.

If Neymar get back from injury he should stop holding the ball too much when playing he should released the ball quickly so that no one can kick him because he is too young to be getting this kind of injuries but if he keep holding the ball all the time then the opposition will be kicking him all the time which is not good because it's may lead to serious injuries so it's better for him to stop holding the ball too much and provoking the opposite players and wish him speedy recovery

I knew something like this was bound to happen, the French referees doesn't give him no protection similar to how other Superstars are protected.The public loves to see class players perform their classiness.Whitout players like Neymar jr. the game is dull and boring,so the refs must do the proper thing when officiating.What could that ref be thinking when he allowed that player with the number 7in his back willfully kicked Neymar , not once , not twice but three times in succession before he blew his whistle.Plus the guy was just kicking the players foot, the first kick alone is a vicious foul , plus he attacked him from behind.That attacker should be yellow carded after the first kick.FIFA must investigate this referee immediately about his decision or none decision at the time of the attack against Mr. Neymar jr.Come on FIFA do your job so we can enjoy the beautiful game performed by a beautiful player, Mr.Neymar Da Silva Do Santos jr.Jah Blessings to you Ney.

Neymar if you will not change your play style , you will soon end your career which is pretty much happening. Like kaka whose career was ruined by Madrid and Mourinho , he had capability and talent to be called greatest of all time . But injuries ruined him. Infact he was best at a time. Nobody is bothering for your dancing around the pitch. That player will get just a yellow card and for ending your career. You still have time to come back to la liga. Be it madrid
