Neymar 'only has faint hope' of facing former club Barcelona in Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain forward Neymar is reportedly set to miss out on a reunion with former side Barcelona in next week's Champions League tie.

Last season's beaten finalists travel to Camp Nou on Tuesday for the first leg of their last-16 clash against fellow heavyweights Barca.

However, PSG are expected to be without Neymar after the Brazil international sustained an injury in Wednesday's Coupe de France victory at Caen.

Neymar was sent hurtling to the ground early in the second half and clutched his knee in agony, before hobbling off the field to be replaced by Kylian Mbappe.

Reports from France suggest that Neymar could be seen limping outside the ground and has only "a faint hope" of travelling to Catalonia next week.

The 29-year-old took to Twitter shortly after the game to post "Honour and glory to God at all times", alongside the symbol of a love heart and praying hands.

PSG are expected to carry out medical checks on Thursday to determine the extent of the damage.
