Neymar expected to be fit for Madrid visit
Unai Emery has confirmed PSG's Neymar suffered a twisted ankle in the Ligue 1 win over Marseille, but should be fit to face Real Madrid in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie.
Neymar should recover from a twisted ankle in time to play Real Madrid in the Champions League, according to Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery.
Neymar, who had been a doubt for the game due to a virus, left the field on a stretcher in tears after landing awkwardly following a challenge with Bouna Sarr.
PSG had to play the closing stages with 10 men as Unai Emery had used all three of his substitutes, resting players amid a busy schedule including the Champions League last-16 return leg with Real Madrid on 6 March, a tie in which the Parisians trail 3-1.
Neymar was not among the players withdrawn, the world's most expensive player consequently suffering an injury that could make him a doubt for the Madrid tie.
Silva indicated Neymar has no chance of featuring against Marseille when PSG renew their rivalry in the Coupe de France quarter-finals in four days' time.
"Neymar played and he has the right to play," PSG's captain told Canal+ in a post-match interview.
"I'm not a doctor but I know it was swollen straight away.
"I know he won't be able to play against Marseille on Wednesday. We'll have to see how he recovers."
