Neymar Stretchered Off With Ankle Injury Against Marseille


Neymar set up PSG's third before being carried from the pitch
Neymar brilliantly set up PSG's third goal for Edinson Cavani but later rolled his ankle and was forced off in clear discomfort with around 15 minutes remaining - leaving PSG with 10 men, having just sent on their final substitute Julian Draxler.

PSG Coach told psg.fr: "We showed that this game is special for us and the result was positive - a clear 3-0 win.
"The injury to Neymar was the only black mark. We hope it is nothing serious, we will wait for the scans."

Midfielder Thiago Silva added: "The 'Clasico' is always like this, there is that rivalry. The previous game over there (a 2-2 draw) was not easy but tonight all the players gave their maximum.
"We are happy with the result and to move further ahead in the championship.
"We finished with 10 because of the injury to Neymar but we still managed to keep control."

On Neymar, he added: "I hope it's not a big thing. You want to see the top players on the pitch, even if it is against us."
