Paris Saint-Germain attacker Neymar could be facing an extended period on the sidelines after picking up a seemingly serious ankle injury during his team’s 1-0 loss to Lyon on Sunday night.
The Brazil international was seen screaming in agony before leaving the field on a stretcher following a poor tackle from Thiago Mendes, who was handed a red card for the challenge.

PSG boss Thomas Tuchel told Telefoot after the match that an announcement on Neymar would not be made until the required tests had been undertaken on Monday. However, various reports have suggested that the 28-year-old might have suffered a break, which would leave him facing a significant spell on the sidelines.

Neymar, who has had a number of injury problems during his time in Paris, has been in impressive form at club level this season, scoring nine times and registering five assists in 12 appearances.

The South American has managed six goals in five Champions League games this term, meanwhile, but it remains to be seen whether he has played his last game in the 2020-21 competition.
