Paris Saint-Germain without Neymar for Ligue 1 trip to Nantes

Neymar has been omitted from the Paris Saint-Germain squad to face Nantes away on Sunday due to a rib problem.

The Brazil international, who played and scored in Wednesday's Coupe de la Ligue victory over Amiens, will not travel to the Stade de la Beaujoire.

PSG confirmed their team squad for the Ligue 1 encounter and Neymar was a notable absentee, alongside Javier Pastore.

The club later revealed that the 25-year-old was sidelined with costal cartilage pain, an issue which affects the rib cage.
