Nene suffers fractured cheekbone

Paris Saint-Germain winger Nene could miss 'several weeks' of action after suffering a fractured cheekbone in Saturday's 1-0 win over Reims.

The 31-year-old picked up the knock in the first half of the Ligue 1 clash and it was first thought that the Brazilian had suffered bruising.

However, a visit to a hospital after the match confirmed that the midfielder would miss up to six weeks due to the fracture.

It will keep him out of the club's next five league matches, while he is also likely to miss the majority of their Champions League group stage campaign.

PSG currently top Ligue 1 with 19 points from nine games.
