Neymar injury concerns PSG team-mate ahead of Liverpool clash

PSG team-mate Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting has admitted it would be a big loss should Neymar be ruled out of their forthcoming Champions League clash with Liverpool.

Neymar was forced off injured just eight minutes into Brazil’s international friendly with Cameroon in Milton Keynes, England on Tuesday night.

The Brazil star was jeered off by the 29,669 crowd - a record footballing attendance at Stadium MK.

There was little sympathy from a 29,669 crowd - a record footballing attendance at Stadium MK - as the £200million play-maker was booed off.

That lack of sympathy was not shared by the opposition, in particular Choupo-Moting, who joined PSG from Stoke City last summer.

"I talked quickly with him but it was just after the injury. I think, I hope he will be OK," Choupo-Moting said.

"He had an injury and felt something. It was his adductor I think.

"I hope for him it's not that serious. You have to be careful. If you feel something there you shouldn't risk it."

Choupo-Moting admitted Neymar would be a big loss for PSG if ruled out of the Liverpool match.

He added: "Of course it would be worrying, because he's a very important player. No player's more important than the whole team, but we need him. We hope he's not injured for a long time."

PSG will be hoping the problem is nothing serious with a huge Champions League clash with Liverpool just eight days away but they were dealt another blow later in the evening with Kylian Mbappe also picking up a knock whilst in action with France.
