Neymar's entourage: The injury is less serious than we feared Champions League - PSG vs Real Madrid Won't rule him out for Real

A Paris Saint-Germain statement on Monday night suggested that Neymar suffered a sprained ankle and a cleft of the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, but the player's closest advisors still believe he has a chance of playing against Real Madrid.

It would usually be expected that this type of injury would take about a month to heal, so the Brazilian would be almost certainly ruled out of the Champions League return.

However, his club are taking the same view as his closest allies and keeping alive the hope that he can play.

In fact, according to L'Equipe, a source close to Neymar has gone one step further.

"It's less serious than we feared, but we must still be patient," they said.

Although very cautious, the Brazilian still hasn't definitively been ruled out yet.
