Neymar in tears after limping off injured against Strasbourg

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar may be in doubt for next month's Champions League second round clash with Manchester United after coming off injured in PSG's 2-0 win over Strasbourg on Wednesday night.

PSG cruised to victory thanks to goals from Edinson Cavani and Angel di Maria but after their win was soured by the loss of Neymar who was pulled ashore after 62 minutes and immediately headed down the tunnel with what looked like an ankle injury. https://twitter.com/tancredipalmeri/status/1088190406226046977 The 26-year-old recently hit back at Brazilian legend Pele for his criticism of him during the World Cup with the former World Cup winner scrutinising his diving but the player shrugged off the negativity surrounding his play and denied playacting last summer.

“Pelé’s criticisms? I’ve found them interesting,” Neymar told Canal. “As soon as you don’t win, criticisms come. I’ve never been acting during the World Cup, I’ve just been subject to fouls. “Today people talk a lot about that because it’s Neymar and everything is amplified. I respect Pelé’s criticisms but I don’t approve them.”

PSG head to Old Trafford to play Manchester United on February 12 in one of the more glamorous Champions League round of 16 ties.
