Neymar in danger of missing Man Utd Champions League clash due to FOOT injury
The Most expensive player in the world limped off the Parc des Princes pitch in tears Wednesday after twisting his right foot during a Coupe de France match against Strasbourg.
This just so happens to be the same foot in which the 27-year-old fractured last February, preventing him from ending the season with PSG and from entering the Russia 2018 World Cup in full form.
Timing for PSG could not be worse as the Ligue 1 side is set to face Man Utd in the Champions League in three weeks.
The extent of the injury is not yet known. Neymar’s cryptic Instagram story does not shed much light on the matter either: A picture of a quad tattoo in Portuguese, “1% chance, 99% faith” and a caption saying “May your will be done, God!”
Cheer up, PSG fans! It’s not all that bad. After all, Les Parisiens did win 2-0.
