PSG waits on Neymar, Mbappe
Paris Saint-Germain was anxiously waiting yesterday for the results of scans on injuries to Neymar and Kylian Mbappe just days before its crucial UEFA Champions League clash with Liverpool.
Neymar limped off after just eight minutes of Brazil’s 1-0 friendly win against Cameroon on Wednesday.
The Brazilian forward had treatment for an apparent groin problem after just five minutes and collapsed to the turf soon afterwards to boos from the crowd in the central English town of Milton Keynes.
In Paris, Mbappe hurt his shoulder in a nasty fall as World Cup winner France ended its year on a high note with a 1-0 win over Uruguay at Stade de France. But the victory was overshadowed when Mbappe was hurt after falling awkwardly as he challenged the diving Uruguay goalkeeper Martin Campana for the ball.
France coach Didier Deschamps said the news on Mbappe, the 19-year-old forward was “not necessarily reassuring, but not worrying either.
“He had some shoulder pain after his fall and he has to have tests tomorrow morning, but there is no serious concern.”
Neymar played down his injury, saying on Instagram that “it was nothing serious”.
Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar also said it did not appear to be a serious problem.
PSG coach Thomas Tuchel will be hoping that both of his star players are fit to play when the French champion hosts Liverpool in Paris next Wednesday with both sides chasing qualification for the UCL knockout phase.
PSG sits third in Group C, one point behind Liverpool which is equal on points with Napoli.
