French Champion, Paris Saint-Germain, have confirmed that Neymar has been ruled out of action for 10 weeks.

The 26-year-old Brazilian will miss both legs of their Champions League last-16 tie against Manchester United.

He sustained a metatarsal injury in his right foot during PSG’s clash against Strasbourg in the Coupe de France round of 16 match on January 23.

A review was conducted at the training ground on Tuesday and Neymar has now been ruled out of action for ten weeks, which will see him miss a crucial run of fixtures for the French champions.

The fleet-footed forward will play no part in PSG’s trip to Old Trafford on February 12, nor will he be available to play in the return leg at Parc Des Princes on March 3.

Neymar had scored 20 goals in 21 appearances across all competitions this season, helping PSG storm clear at the top of Ligue 1.
