Neymar's day ended early as Paris Saint-Germain took on Saint-Etienne on Sunday, having been on the end of a challenge that saw his ankle twist beneath the opponent's leg.
The ex-Barcelona forward's pain was plain to see, and he had to be taken off on a stretcher in tears.
Although the extent of the injury is not yet known, the early signs aren't positive. The pictures showing the moment of contact make for unpleasant viewing and give cause for major concern around the Brazilian.
Neymar has had more than his share of ankle injuries since his arrival at PSG, missing a number of games through injury and a lot of those being due to ankle issues.

PSG won't win UCL this season because Messi's heart is at Barca, Mbappe's heart is at Real Madrid and Neymar's heart is at hospital now.

I think there should be law that any players causes injury for another player should also spend the same days, weeks, months or years that'll cost the victim player at home without getting pay till the victims returned back on training. With this there would be less nasty tackle.
