According to reports, X-rays have shown a fracture line on the fifth metatarsal which the Brazil forward had an operation on last year.There has not yet been a full diagnosis, but early signs have pointed towards Neymar not being fit in time for Paris’ trip to Manchester United next month, in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.And Tuchel admits it will be “very difficult” for the former Barcelona player to feature against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s in-form team.“It’s going to be very difficult, that is clear,” the PSG coach told reporters in the aftermath of Sunday’s match.“I do not have confirmation of a new diagnosis. “As I explained yesterday (Saturday), it’s too early to talk about a return date.“We have to wait for the first week, which is very important, and its reaction to treatment. Only after that can we be more precise, but it’s going to be very difficult (for the United match). It is not a secret.”Neymar missed 16 matches across all competitions last season due to a metatarsal injury suffered in February 2018.He has scored 20 goals and created a further 10 in just 23 appearances this term to help fire PSG 13 points clear in Ligue 1 having not yet suffered defeat.
