Confirmed: Neymar to miss Champions League return against Real Madrid

After suffering an ankle injury in Sunday’s 3-0 win over Marseille, its now been confirmed that Brazilian superstar Neymar will miss the second-leg of Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League Round of 16 tie against Real Madrid.
 
The Spaniards are 3-1 from the first-leg at the Santiago Bernabeu and now the French league leaders will be without their talisman after a crude challenge from former West Ham play-maker Dimitri Payet.
 
There has been widespread condemnation of the tackle with Payet being accused of deliberately trying to injure Neymar at the Parc des Princes last weekend.
