PSG and Brazil star Neymar was stretchered off the pitch in tears after sustaining an ankle injury during the Paris sides loss to Lyon in Ligue 1 over the weekend.
Neymar was carried off the pitch seven minutes into stoppage time after a very poor challenge by Thiago Mendes which saw the Brazilian receive a red card.

PSG have yet to confirm the severity of the injury but if Neymar’s reaction is anything to go by it looked quite serious.
It’s not the first injury Neymar has picked up since joining PSG. The 28-year-old has fractured his metatarsal twice since arriving in August 2017, and missed the 2019 Copa America after rupturing his ankle ligaments.
The game finished 1-0 to Lyon thanks to a Tino Kadewere goal in the 35th minute with the result leaving the current champions in third position.
