Neymar Jr Could Miss Real Madrid Clash After Suffering A Broken Leg

The Ligue 1 leaders’ Champions League hopes have taken a heavy blow after their star was diagnosed with a cracked metatarsal.

Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar faces a month on the sidelines with a foot and ankle injury, all but ruling him out of his side’s Champions League test against Real Madrid.

The Brazilian was a late casualty in Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash with Marseille, in which the French leaders ran out 3-0 winners. Neymar was left in tears after tangling with Marseille’s Bouna Sarr, with all signs pointing toward a damaged ankle.

While preliminary tests ruled out a fracture or serious sprain in the joint on Sunday evening, subsequent examinations revealed he has fractured a metatarsal bone in his foot.
