PSG fear Neymar will miss BOTH legs of Man Utd Champions League tie

PSG fear Neymar will miss BOTH legs of their Champions League round 16 tie with Manchester United.

L'Equipe says Neymar will be ruled out until the end of March with a foot injury, and would therefore miss both legs of the Champions League last-16 tie with United.

Neymar limped off during PSG's win in the French Cup against Strasbourg with an injury to his right foot and PSG boss Thomas Tuchel admits it will be unlikely he will be fit to play in the game at Old Trafford on February 12.

“It's going to be very difficult, that is clear," Tuchel said.

“I do not have confirmation of a new diagnosis. As I explained yesterday [Saturday], it's too early to talk about a return date.

“We have to wait for the first week, which is very important, and its reaction to treatment. Only after that can we be more precise, but it's going to be very difficult [for the United match].

“It is not a secret."
