Neymar is facing an uphill battle to recover from injury in time for Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League round of 16 second leg clash with Bayern Munich on March 8.
The Brazilian international was forced off the field on a stretcher after twisting his ankle in PSG’s 4-3 win over Lille on Sunday.
PSG have now confirmed that Neymar has sprained his ankle and suffered “some ligament damage”, with further tests set to be made at the start of next week.
Bayern beat PSG 1-0 in the first game at Parc des Princes earlier this month.
