Champions League dangerous for PSG without Neymar, says Buffon ahead of Man Utd test

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon believes that the absence of star forward Neymar will be “dangerous” ahead of his side’s Champions League knockout campaign.

The Brazil international is set to miss the Ligue 1 outfit’s round-of-16 tie against Manchester United later this month after he suffered a foot injury in January.

The former Barcelona man had been in fine form prior to his setback, having netted 20 goals in 23 games across all competitions so far this season.
