PARIS: Neymar still has a “small chance” of playing against Real Madrid in the Champions League and there are no plans for an operation on his cracked bone, Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery said on Tuesday. “Neymar is the first to want to play every match, he’s very focussed on Real. Neymar suffered a cracked metatarsal in his foot and a twisted ankle in an innocuous looking incident against Marseille on Sunday night. “Today, after analysing Neymar, it looks less likely than it did on Sunday that he’ll be ready for this match,” said Emery. Globo had said Neymar would have a “pin” attached to his metatarsal bone and would be fit to return in May.
