Paris St-Germain forward Neymar was told "don't go blubbering" after he left the pitch in tears having suffered a fractured metatarsal.

Neymar was fouled three times in a few seconds by Moataz Zemzemi during PSG's 2-0 French Cup win over Strasbourg.

The 26-year-old responded by doing a "rainbow flick" over the head of Zemzemi but had to come off injured.

"It's Neymar's style, but don't come and complain when you get kicked," said Strasbourg's Anthony Goncalves.

"He is a great player, I respect him. He can enjoy himself but don't come blubbering afterwards."


However, PSG manager Thomas Tuchel was unhappy with the comments by some of the Strasbourg players and coach suggesting Neymar's behaviour provoked his opponents to cause the injury.

"It was a situation where he was fouled three times, one after the other. The referee didn't give anything. He twisted his foot," said Tuchel.

PSG said Neymar had suffered a "reactivation of the lesion of the fifth right metatarsal", adding that treatment would depend on how the injury heals in the next few days.

Neymar needs to know when to release the ball.

Elite dribbler but he's injury prone and players tackle him harder than others because they know Neymar is trying to embarrass them.
