Tearful Neymar wishes for 'new metatarsal' as he parties with his crutches to celebrate 27th birthday

Neymar celebrated his 27th birthday in some style, throwing a lavish party and dancing with his crutches as he continues to nurse an injured metatarsal that is keeping him out of action for PSG.

Indeed, the Brazilian will miss his side's crucial Champions League last 16 tie with Manchester United having suffered the injury to his right foot in a Coupe de France clash with Strasbourg in January.

The Ligue 1 club have predicted that Neymar will be out of action for around 10 weeks, meaning he'll miss both legs of the meeting with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side, with the first of which taking place on February 12.
