It is with a bitter taste that the Parisians leave Saint-Etienne this Sunday despite the victory (3-1) acquired after playing in numerical superiority for more than a half.
Neymar came out injured in the left ankle after a tackle from Stéphanois Yvann Maçon at the end of the match (84th), raising fears of a long unavailability.
He was in tears in the locker room after the meeting.
Invited to give news of his player at a press conference, Mauricio Pochettino said: “There is nothing more to say at the moment.
He feels the pain, he will take exams tomorrow, we will then know a little more about his injury.

On the performance of his team, the Parisian coach was rather satisfied with the behavior of his players, and in particular Messi, discreet in sequences but author of three assists: "I am happy with the performance of the whole team , he said.
Leo with his assists helped us win the game, I'm happy because he's improving, he's getting better and better.
We conceded an avoidable goal today, we fixed that, we still have to improve, but overall we are satisfied.
"
Regarding Ramos, who made a good first outing in the Parisian jersey, Mauricio Pochettino confides: “If Sergio started the match, it is because we thought he was capable of playing.
The facts of the game then meant that he was able to play the 90 minutes.
