PARIS — Neymar limped off with a recurrence of a right-foot injury during Paris Saint-Germain's 2-0 French Cup win against Strasbourg on Wednesday, casting doubt whether he will face Manchester United in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 match next month.
The Brazil forward had just received the ball on the left when he raised his hand to seemingly signal to his coach Thomas Tuchel he was in pain, and looked to be in tears as he left the field at Parc des Princes.
A few hours after Neymar was taken to hospital, PSG said in a statement in the early hours of Thursday that "the first tests carried out showed a painful reactivation" of the fifth metatarsal in the right foot he fractured nearly exactly one year ago playing against Marseille.
PSG added that Neymar's condition will be further assessed "in the coming days" to determine how long he will be out of the lineup. PSG travels to face a resurgent United side at Old Trafford on Feb. 12 with the return leg in Paris on March 6.
"All therapeutic options need to be envisaged," PSG said on its website.
In February of last year, Neymar cracked the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, and he underwent surgery back home in Brazil. Although he recovered in time for the World Cup, he was not at his best in Russia.
Neymar limped heavily as he walked to the dressing room on Wednesday night, consoled by a PSG staff member, and looked visibly upset as he wiped his face with his right arm following his third significant injury in the space of a calendar year.
It was unclear how Neymar sustained his latest injury but he had been on the receiving end of a heavy tackle from midfielder Anthony Goncalves earlier in the match. Television images then later showed Neymar rolling off his sock and pointing to the side of his right foot.
A frustrated Tuchel said Neymar was not protected enough on the pitch.
"The referee didn't whistle on one occasion, then two, then three and after that he ended up twisting his foot," Tuchel said.
But interviewed after the match by broadcaster Eurosport, Goncalves expressed no sympathy for Neymar and even suggested the injury is a direct result of how he plays.
"It's his style. But if you play like that don't complain if you take some knocks after," Goncalves said. "He's a great player, and I respect the player he is, but we're not here so he has fun at our expense. We're not here to make him look good."
Goncalves suggested Neymar, who has a tendency to showboat and even toy with opposing players with his superior level of skill, lacks humility.
"If he wants to have fun, we'll respond with the weapons we have. We have a jersey to defend. We're not here for a laugh," Goncalves said. "He can amuse himself, that's his style and I think people come to watch that. But he shouldn't come and moan about it afterward...."
Strasbourg coach Thierry Laurey also said Neymar's attitude is all wrong.
"Sometimes when you've gone too far, you have to face up to it," Laurey said. "I can understand my players having enough of players who are looking to tease them, mock them. It's right that after a while it also catches up with him. I'm all for protecting players, but there are limits. When you make a pass that comes off your back, you're mocking a bit."
Strasbourg defender Pablo Martinez added: "Of course he's a marvelous player, but because of his attitude he's not someone I like on the pitch. Apart from teasing you, he talks to you badly."
PSG is already sweating on the fitness of key midfielder Marco Verratti after he sprained his ankle last weekend.
Two months ago, Neymar was substituted with a groin injury during the first half of Brazil's friendly against Cameroon on Nov. 20.

At Bayern Munich the time has come to change many names. The bad and atypical results that are having this season, are taken as an indication that it is necessary to bring fresh players, which come with another dynamic outside and a thirst for triumphs that perhaps many of the players belonging to the squad have lost, because they have become accustomed to the titles.

One of the greatest exponents of the Bavarian team looking for a change of environment is Thomas Müller , who has been characterized by a way of playing that appeals to total delivery on the court. The qualities of the German do not stand out for his technical ability, but he has a nose for goal that led him to be a scorer in a world championship, always being in the right place to finalize the scores.

The attacker has always had an adventurous spirit, and likes to take on new challenges. At the time of winning the World Cup with the German team, he commented that he felt happy and a little sad at the same time, since he had to lift the trophy of the most important competition for a football player while still very young, so his motivation was I would be affected.
The agent of the Teutonic striker has offered to FC Barcelona , and since the presidency was discussing this option that sounded interesting to reinforce in a place where they have no spare, but the heavyweights do not believe that I can contribute more right now than Dembélé for example and it would be very expensive to be a substitute for Luis Suárez .

This opinion that has the template will be evaluated and consulted with Ernesto Valverde to know if he has the same perception about the possible signing. For now Barça only has to keep praying for the Uruguayan striker to enjoy excellent health in the coming matches.

The team led by Maurizio Sarri is showing an atypical style of play for what would be expected from an Italian coach. Although football does not always reward the good handling of the ball by a team, in this case Chelsea is in the top positions and with real chances of climbing and getting into the fight.   

But from the leadership anticipate the imminent departure of the players that undoubtedly make the whole team stronger. In the first instance it is known the interest of several clubs for the best player of the " blues ". Since Real Madrid has shown the greatest interest to buy Eden Hazard , the Belgian also has the desire to represent the white club for several seasons.

To replace the current 10 of the team, Roman Abramovich has moved his chips and paid Borussia Dortmund a sum of 73 million euros for Christian Pulisic , a player of just 20 years of age, but has more than 100 games in the Bundesliga , besides being the heart of the American team.



Another marches that will occur in Chelsea , will be to Álvaro Morata , who will supply in Milan to Higuaín , in a tournament already known for his past in the juventino team. The replacement of the Spanish would be in the Eredivisie , because interested Hirving Lozano and are willing to pay 40 million euros for the Mexican end that has been doing very good performances in Holland and their selection.

This news disturbs the planning that was in Barcelona for the " Chucky ", as they would have competition to close the contract, without counting that the cost of the signing would increase its value, because of what the London team would be willing to pay. Abramóvich will give a blow of authority in the market ?.

Our Chelsea fans here in the Transfer Tavern are reacting to reports that one of their main strikers may want to leave the club in the summer in a return to familiar surroundings.
Alvaro Morata has been a lonely figure up front in the Chelsea team, ever since the turn of the year the Spaniard has frustrated the fans in the bar. Indeed, it’s reported that Morata wants to move back to his old club Juventus and they are keen on the idea.
The Spaniard enjoyed a successful period in Italy when he was on loan there from Real Madrid for two years during which, he picked up back-to-back Serie A titles and was looking likely to have found a place to call home. However, since making the move to SW6 last summer, after an initial new club bounce, he has found it hard to maintain a consistent level in the English Premier League.
With that in mind, our landlord takes a look at if Morata was to return to the Old Lady this summer, which star striker would jump straight into his boots at Stamford Bridge…
OUR VERDICT – Edinson Cavani
The Uruguayan hitman has scored 28 league goals this season, although it’s thought that the French champions are willing to let him leave this summer following several reported fallings out with world-record signing Neymar throughout the season.
Reports suggest that PSG are happy to cash-in on the over-30 striker, only on the basis they can secure their own replacement, in the form of Bayern Munich’s forward Robert Lewandowski. Despite all his success in the French capital since joining from Napoli, Cavani has never truly been loved and a move to west London would be a wonderful career decision.
Valued at £54m by Transfermakrt, he’d set the Premier League alight.

Florentino Pérez is very clear that the Real Madrid season can only be saved by the Champions League . The president is aware that the semi - final against Bayern in Munich will be the perfect showcase for half the world see that the Real , much as in League and Cup has failed, is still king of the Champions .


And, although it is not at all usual to do so, the president has been in contact with Zinedine Zidane in these previous days and has sent a notice / requirement. " Play ", he said to the coach.

Who does Florentino speak of ? How Isco Alarcón ? No. It refers to  Gareth Bale. While it is true that the president is very clear that the Welshman should not be a starter, he does want Zizou to give him minutes during the tie.

Florentino Pérez wants Gareth Bale on the pitch

Perez knows that the situation with the end is slipping from his hands. The mess they have in Madrid with Bale is the fat ones, but facing the gallery should continue to give the impression that Gareth is important.
Gareth Bale AS
Hence, Florentino has 'encouraged' Zizou that, if things look good, goal Cardiff in the second half. In this way, if Bale plays minutes and performs at a good level, it will give the feeling that the problem is much smaller than it really is and that the player is still a heavyweight.

Gareth Bale is plummeting


And it is no secret that all these substitutions and messes with the Welsh are causing their market cache plummet, something that is alarming, and much, the club.

The truth is that the intention of Madrid is to get rid of it in summer, but does not want to give it away. Florentino paid 100 million for him a few years ago and wants to see the investment recovered. But for this the player must have media impact and there is no better scenario for that than the Champions League .

Taking into account that the offers that are arriving by Bale do not pass in any case of the 60 million euros, Florentino is getting nervous thinking about the failure that would be to sell it so 'cheap'. If Gareth plays, even in the second half, or as a starter in the round if in the first leg was already sentenced, better for Madrid .

We will see if Zidane , who is not very fond of obeying the pleas of anyone, heeds his president or follows his own and poses the eliminator his way. At the moment, it has not done anything wrong ignoring this type of suggestions.

Brazilian and Portuguese exchanged a few words after the meeting.
It was one of the images that the game left us. Neymar and Cristiano Ronaldo embraced after the final whistle. It is no secret that the Brazilian and Portuguese share a good relationship, and that the ex-Barça has always praised the five-time winner of the Golden Ball.

Yesterday Cristiano Ronaldo again went over Neymar. A Neymar who had a terrible anger at the end of the meeting. This was stated to the '7' of Real Madrid.



And is that the '10' PSG was puzzled when Emery decided to remove Cavani from the field to put Meunier. Neymar believes that the team lacked ambition. They had the game in hand with the 1-1 and now they should look for a miraculous comeback.

Neymar begins to be fed up with the questionable decisions of Unai. With players like Di Maria, Draxler, Cavani, Mbappé ... it can not be that the first change is Meunier.

Of course, Neymar does not give up. The message for Cristiano was clear: see you in the return. The Brazilian feels capable of leading a comeback with which they already dream in Paris.

Real Madrid wants to bring Dele Alli, Paulo Dybala and David Alaba to the Santiago Bernabeu next summer in a bid to continue its domination of European football, according to reports.
Tottenham’s Alli is on a list of targets, along with Dybala of Juventus and Bayern Munich’s Alaba, as Madrid hunts its next era of galacticos.

Having become the first team to win back-to-back Champions League titles, Zinedine Zidane wants to make additions to his team that will help him get his team there again.
Last month, highly-respected French newspaper L’Equipe ranked Alli as the second best under-21 player in world football, with Real’s Marco Asensio at number one. The 21-year-old hasn’t even played 100 games for Tottenham yet, but is already being touted for a move to one of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Speculation over this intensified when news broke that Alli was looking to change his representation, and so-called “super-agents” such as Jorge Mendes and Mino Raiola were among those interested, the times reported in September.
Asensio and Alli would make up part of an attack that would be worthy of succeeding Cristiano Ronaldo, when the prolific forward decides to retire, and it would be made even stronger by Dybala.
The 23-year-old Argentine has been compared to Barcelona’s Lionel Messi for his playing style, especially after being at the center of Juventus’ run to the Champions League final in May. Dybala and Juventus were beaten quite easily by Real at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, but Real was clearly impressed by the playmaker.
And then Real looks at finding a successor at left-back. Alaba has proved to be capable in defense and going forward in his seven years at Bayern Munich, and is similar in style to Marcelo, who will be 30 by next summer.
The prospect of adding these three to Real’s squad is a daunting prospect for the rest of Europe, as the Spanish giant is also reportedly monitoring Eden Hazard at Chelsea as well as Harry Kane at Tottenham.

PSG have today been linked with a bid for N’Golo Kante in Le Parisien, with a €90m bid apparently being consisdered by the French club.
It all adds up to a busy week for the Frenchman, who picked up an injury a few days ago while playing for his country against Bulgaria, before then being named on the 30 man shortlist for the Ballon d’Or yesterday. Now he finds himself at what could be the start of a very long transfer saga.Still, Chelsea fans shouldn’t be too worried. It was only a few months ago that Kante was explaining why he turned down PSG last summer, and he’s unlikely to have changed his mind about wanting to stay in the Premier League so quickly.
Chelsea fans can only hope that the colossal outlay on Kylian Mbappe and Neymar this summer will stunt the French club’s attempts to make any big signings in the next few windows

Chelsea FC have been linked with Thomas Muller recently as the German star has not been happy at Bayern Munich due to limited starts under former manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Chelsea FC should consider a swap deal involving Willian plus cash for Thomas Muller. Muller has not been happy at Bayern Munich under former manager Ancelotti and only started 25 matches last season.
And while Carlo Ancelotti’s sacking is good news for the German play-maker, it’s still uncertain whether he will regain his starting spot under new interim coach Jupp Heynckes.
Willian, meanwhile, has not quite made an impression yet under Chelsea’s Antonio Conte. Last season he lost his starting spot to Pedro and has failed to impress this season too. Willian was dreadful in the last match against Manchester City and lost possession and misplace passes throughout the match. He has simply not been quite the same player he once was when Jose Mourinho was the manager.
Chelsea FC should consider offering Willian and cash for Thomas Muller as the move would suit both parties. Muller would get more playing time with Chelsea and Willian vice-versa at Munich. Willian would offer pace and energy to a largely ageing side with Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery both in the latter stages of their career.
While Muller would offer something different to a largely predictable attack for Chelsea FC. Muller could fill in as the third attacking midfielder in Chelsea’s new 5-3-2 formation. With N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko behind him, Muller could focus on providing his genius movement and attacking vision to Conte’s side.Muller is also very versatile as he can play a number of positions including attacking midfield as a number ten  or  as a striker. This would suit Chelsea’s system perfectly especially considering the Blues have very little cover in the striker department.
Conte could play Muller and Morata up front with Eden Hazard in behind as the number ten or vice-versa with Muller behind Hazard,. Muller would offer a number of different attacking systems for Conte’s Chelsea which would help keep things fresh and less predictable for opponents.Chelsea FC could offer around  £20m plus Willian to get the deal done and it could be done in the next transfer window in January. Chelsea FC need an attacking player to provide competition for Morata and this deal suits all parties.
