Neymar could be out for season if surgery needs

Sports Desk: PSG superstar Neymar's season could be over with his most recent injury. Set to miss his club's upcoming Champions League round of 16 matches against Manchester United due to a foot injury, ESPNFC is reporting that he actually may be out for the season if his injury requires surgery.

According to according L'Equipe, the recent foot injury he picked up is expected to keep him out until the end of March, but surgery would push that back, and potentially by a lot. He was injured Wednesday in PSG's 2-0 victory over Strasbourg in the French Cup. Manager Thomas Tuchel said after Sunday's 4-1 win over Rennes that it'll be "very difficult to have him" play in the last 16 ties against United, but now it seems like those games are the least of their concerns.

The injury, per PSG, was the aggravation of the fifth right metatarsal in his foot, which he previously injured last year which put his World Cup participation in doubt. According to Globo, Neymar is nursing a fracture in the fifth metatarsal in his foot, with the Brazilian federation worried about his status for the national team in March friendlies. _Agencies
