[ad_1] Paris Saint-Germain purred in Neymar’s absence on Sunday as Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi combined to devastating effect in their 3-0 victory over Marseille. The Brazilian is poised for a lengthy period on the sidelines after picking up an ankle injury against Lille the week before. The superstar forward faces a race against time to be fit for PSG’s all-important Champions League round of 16 second leg against Bayern Munich, and the early signs suggest a return for this fixture is unlikely. Poor PSG will likely have to manage with just Mbappe and Messi in attack at the Allianz Arena as they attempt toRead More →
