PSG's Neymar suffers fractured metatarsal

Paris Saint-Germain's Brazilian forward Neymar suffered a fractured metatarsal and a sprained ankle during Sunday's Ligue 1 win over their arch-rivals Olympique de Marseille. The world's most expensive player was injured while chasing forward Bouna Sarr and was seen crying as he was carried off near the end of the 3-0 win at the Parc de Princes.

He is set to miss the Champions League last 16 second-leg tie at home to Real Madrid on March 6 with PSG trailing 3-1. Ligue 1 leaders PSG said on Monday that Neymar had suffered "a sprain of the right ankle and also a fracture of the fifth metatarsal" but did not say how long he would be sidelined. Neymar, who joined PSG for 222m euro ($273.39m) from Barcelona in the close season, posted a picture of his heavily bandaged ankle on Instagram earlier on Monday.
