The star striker of Brazil and Paris SG Neymar is injured hamstrings and should not regain the competition before "4 weeks", announced Monday the Paris club.

Neymar was released Sunday in the 12th minute of Brazil's friendly against Nigeria (1-1), in Singapore, and suffers from "a grade 2 lesion of the left hamstring-femoral biceps", according to the MRI performed by the player. He will still have to postpone his return to the Champions League, scheduled before his injury on 22 October against Club Brugge.
