PSG’s Neymar, Mbappe injured in international friendlies

Neymar could be in doubt for Paris St Germain's Champions League clash with Liverpool next week after limping off during Brazil's friendly with Cameroon in Milton Keynes on Tuesday.

PSG's $354 million playmaker suffered an apparent groin problem and was replaced after eight minutes, to boos from a record Stadium MK crowd.

Meanwhile France striker Kylian Mbappe was forced off the pitch with an apparent shoulder injury during the world champion's friendly game against Uruguay.

The PSG star had to be substituted after he fell awkwardly on his right shoulder near the half-hour mark at the Stade de France with the match scoreless.

Mbappe jumped to avoid contact with goalkeeper Martin Campana and went down in pain, forcing coach Didier Deschamps to substitute him for Marseille forward Florian Thauvin.
