Having had successful surgery on his fifth metatarsal in his right foot, Neymar will be assessed by PSG in six weeks to determine when he will return to training.

There have been suggestions that the 26-year-old could be out for three months and he will be eager to be fully fit to represent Brazil at this summer’s World Cup, which gets underway on June 14.

Neymar became the most expensive player in the world when he joined PSG from Barcelona last summer for a fee of £198million.
