Forget Real Madrid: Fears PSG star Neymar will miss World Cup

Published on: 27 February 2018

PSG star Neymar is expected to be out of their Champions League second-leg clash with Real Madrid.

Brazilian sources say he faces two months out after breaking down in victory over Marseille.

A sprained ankle and cleft of the fifth metatarsal of his right foot that occurred on Sunday, could even put his participation at the World Cup in doubt should he not recover sufficiently well.

Globoesporte says Neymar will not be able to face Real Madrid on March 6 and won't make a playing return for Paris Saint-Germain until May, one month before the start of the World Cup.

There will also be the final games in Ligue 1 to play as well as the Champions League, if his team is still in contention.
