PSG, who host Liverpool in a crucial Champions League tie next Wednesday, confirmed they would reassess both Neymar and Mbappe in the next 48 hours.

A statement on the club's official wesbite read: "Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe have undergone medical examinations today that confirmed: for Neymar an elongation of the right adductors. For Kylian Mbappe a contusion of the right shoulder.

"A period of 48 hours of care will be observed to judge the clinical course."

Neymar believes the injury he sustained is "nothing serious", while – after the game – Brazil boss Tite would not discuss the injury.

The player himself said in a message posted on Instagram: "Thanks to everyone who sent me messages wishing a good recovery, I think it was nothing serious."

Brazil team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar also suggested Neymar's issue was not a major one.

Lasmar was quoted by SporTV as saying: "He has been evaluated, has already initiated the treatment. (He) will need a little more time for a better evaluation, an image exam, but at first it is nothing important."

Neymar was replaced at Stadium MK by Everton's Richarlison, who scored the only goal just before half-time.
