Former Chelsea target Neymar is said to be facing an increasingly uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain following a horrible injury. The 31-year-old was stretched off during the Parisians' clash with Lille last month and he's been ruled out of action for up to four months.
Neymar will undergo surgery to repair the ligaments in his ankle and he's not expected to return until the summer. With Lionel Messi set to leave the French giants at the end of the season once his contract expires, doubt has been cast as to whether the Brazil international will ever lineup alongside the Argentine and Kylian Mbappe again.
Since Todd Boehly bought the west London outfit from Roman Abramovich, Neymar has been thinly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge. There's also been plenty of speculation over France international Mbappe's future too, with the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool reportedly keen on the talisman.

As the star-studded trio appear to fall break away, South American football expert Tim Vickery has theorised whether a move to Chelsea is truly on the cards for Neymar. Speaking on talkSPORT, he said: "It is worrying, isn’t it? I am concerned for his future.
"If they go out of the Champions League, you kind of expect the end of an era at PSG. The end of the Mbappe, Messi and Neymar era, where Neymar kind of got overtaken by Mbappe in the whole project.
"It hasn’t really worked out for him anyway and with these recurrent ankle injuries, you wonder what his future is. There has been a lot of talk of him perhaps moving to the Premier League with Chelsea.
"Is anyone really going to pay big money for him with his injury record? Especially in a league as physically intense as the Premier League. So I am a little bit worried about what the future holds for him."
Neymar has already once complained about the physicality of the French top-flight. Speaking to the Daily Mail, he said: "I do not get to watch a lot of the Premier League, but I have heard that there's a lot of physical contact involved in the game. But the French league also has too much physical contact."
