Last week, the Brazilian football deity Neymar, who suffered an ankle injury, will be forced to miss the first UEFA Champions League match against Manchester United. During Wednesday's French Cup duel with Strasbourg, Neymar left the field with tears of pain in his eyes. So far, it has not been precisely announced how seriously the Brazilian was injured, but the head coach Thomas Tuchel confirmed that the team will most likely travel to Manchester without their leader. "It will be very difficult to do", Tuchel said about Neymar's chances of playing against Man Utd. "As I said last Saturday, it's hard to say when he will return to the field. To hear predictions, we need to wait at least a week. We need to wait and see how his treatment process goes. It's no secret that we don't expect him to play against United," added the strategist. Another key player of the team, Marco Verratti, also suffered an injury last week. His chances of returning to the field against Man Utd are being evaluated very cautiously as well. The showdown between Man Utd and PSG will take place on February 12.
