ESPN sources: Neymar may not play this season

Brazilian football star Neymar's injury may be much more serious than initially thought.

Last week, the 26-year-old Brazilian suffered a foot injury. No official conclusions have been announced yet, but it is almost certain that Neymar will not appear in the quarterfinal against "Manchester United."

Even if Paris Saint-Germain overcomes the barrier of Manchester's team, it is not clear if Neymar could help the team in the next stage.

As reported by PSG close ESPN journalist Jonathan Johnson, Neymar may not appear on the field at all this season, just as it happened last year.

The sources of the mentioned journalist say that Neymar broke the fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot. Due to the same injury Neymar suffered last summer, he did not play the rest of the season.

Other sources claim that Neymar will not need surgery and will return after a good month.
