According to Radio RMC on Friday, the injury does not throw into doubt Neymar's participation in Wednesday's Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.

Neymar posted a photo of his injured right foot on Snapchat.

His absence in Montpellier will mean no repeat of last weekend's 'penaltygate' incident with fellow PSG striker Edinson Cavani.

The South American pair fell out over who should take a spot kick in Sunday's 2-0 win over Lyon.
