Neymar may miss Paris Saint-Germain's next few matches after limping off in Wednesday's Champions League win over Istanbul바카라 웹사이트Basaksehir, Thomas Tuchel revealed after the game.바카라 웹사이트

The Brazil international felt slight discomfort in his left thigh and was replaced by Pablo Sarabia as a precautionary measure with 26 minutes played at the Fatih Terim Stadium.바카라 웹사이트

PSG have three matches in the next 10 days - against Nantes and Rennes in Ligue 1, either side of a trip to RB Leipzig in the Champions League - before the international break.바카라 웹사이트

And Tuchel is worried Neymar, who has two goals and three assists in six appearances this term, will not play a part in any of those games.바카라 웹사이트

"It was necessary to take him off," Tuchel told RMC Sport. "We now have to wait for a diagnosis. It was not serious pain,바카라 웹사이트but he felt uncomfortable.바카라 웹사이트

"Because of the tight schedule, it might cost him a few games, though I cannot be sure at this point."바카라 웹사이트

Asked for a further update at his news conference, Tuchel said: "It is the adductor muscle. I hope it's not too bad an injury. We have to wait for the tests tomorrow."바카라 웹사이트

Despite바카라 웹사이트the early exit of Neymar, PSG earned a 2-0 win바카라 웹사이트through Moise Kean's second-half brace as they recovered from last week's Group H defeat to Manchester United.

Last season's beaten finalists produced a largely바카라 웹사이트laboured바카라 웹사이트display and Tuchel, who has had to fend off repeated questions over his future, admits an improvement is needed.바카라 웹사이트

"We won - that's what we wanted to do," he said. "We know we will have to improve. Some things have been good for us, other things not.바카라 웹사이트We play every three days, so we'll have time to work on that for the next few matches.바카라 웹사이트

"We know we can play better, but we have to accept that we can't do it right now. It's more difficult but I want to protect my players because I think they are doing the maximum.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트

"We knew we were going to fall against a team that was going to put aggression in the game.바카라 웹사이트바카라 웹사이트

"It's true that we may have lacked communication in the first half. We corrected that in the바카라 웹사이트second and won the game."바카라 웹사이트

PSG managed only one attempt on target in the first half and were indebted to Kean for their victory.바카라 웹사이트

The바카라 웹사이트forward became바카라 웹사이트the youngest ever Italian player to score on his first Champions League start at 20 years and 243 days, overtaking Alessandro Del Piero's record.바카라 웹사이트

"This will give me the strength to continue working hard," said Kean, who has four goals in four appearances since joining on loan from Everton.바카라 웹사이트

"It has been a good start. I have to be ready for my team-mates and be ready when called upon."바카라 웹사이트

PSG have now found the net in 36 of their last 37 matches in all European competitions, the exception being August's Champions League final defeat to Bayern Munich.
