Neymar was stretchered off in tears after appearing to sustain a nasty ankle injury while playing for PSG a Ligue 1 clash with Lille.

The Brazilian was stretchered off in the 51st minute, and is now a huge doubt to feature in his side’s Champions League second leg against Bayern Munich.

Things had been going swimmingly for PSG, who had led 2-0 through brilliant goals by Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

But things began to go wrong on 24 minutes, when Bafode Diakite pulled one back for Lille.

Disaster struck shortly after half-time, when Neymar landed awkwardly on the halfway line, twisting his ankle in the process.

He receive lengthy on-field treatment, with the stretcher being called.

Neymar initially tried to walk off himself, but after one step realised that he’d need the stretcher after all.

The tearful star eventually lay down and was carried off, being replaced by Hugo Ekitike.

Things went from bad to worse just five minutes later, when Lille were awarded a penalty for a soft handball.
