After a serious injury blow to his son, Neymar's Sr has spoken out to reveal the extent of the injury, with Paris Saint-Germain yet to confirm it.
The forward has suffered an ankle sprain and a fissure in his fifth metatarsal, but no timeframe has been determined for his return.
"PSG know that they can't count on Neymar for the next six to eight weeks," Neymar Sr confirmed to ESPN Brazil after he called the show as they discussed the chances of him playing Real Madrid.
"There is no other option.
"We are waiting to speak to PSG to resolve the situation.
"It's not Neymar's decision, it's not his to make.
"He's not a doctor and nor am I.
"Now the Brazil national team doctor will come and together we will take a decision."We will decide tomorrow [Wednesday].
"We didn't want to be in this situation, but we must try to get Neymar back to his best.
"Nobody can think that Neymar can be thinking of playing against Real Madrid with this injury."
The player's entourage are not happy about speculation that he could return to face Real Madrid, given the seriousness of the injury.
