Neymar got injured in PSG Coupe de France win over Caen

Mauricio Pochettino has a long list of injured players to deal with at the moment. To add to his woes, Neymar limped off in their Coupe de France fixture and will miss this game.

Keylor Navas, Colin Dagba, Juan Bernat and Ander Herrera are all sidelined on account of injuries. Angel Di Maria is also nursing a thigh injury.

Marco Verratti's involvement in the game is also in doubt as he was not named in the squad for the cup tie.

Mauricio Pochettino on Neymar's injury:

🗣 “We'll see tomorrow with the doctor. At the moment it’s difficult to say.

"Can he be there next week? I need more time and more info to find out." [Eurosport] https://t.co/tNKKarFQc9
