Having sustained injury in a French Cup game against Strasbourg, PSG star Neymar is out until April.
According to the Brazil striker, he cried for
two days after breaking a metatarsal bone in his right foot in late January.

It is the same injury he suffered in February last year which put his World Cup in doubt, but this new blow "is more complicated", Neymar said.

"This time I had a tough time getting over it," the 27-year-old told Brazilian TV channel Globo.

"I spent two days at home crying.

"The first time I hurt myself I said, 'I'll have an operation, it has to be fixed as quickly as possible'. I wasn't sad."

As disclosed by Paris Saint Germaine (PSG), Neymar will be out of action for around ten weeks which means he'll miss the last-16 Champions League clash against English side Manchester United.

The French side are already leading by 2 - 0 following their first leg clash at Old Trafford.

The second leg will take place in Paris, France on 6 March.
