Paris Saint-Germain have been dealt a double blow, with their loss to Lyon at Parc des Princes compounded by Neymar picking up a potentially serious injury.

The Ligue 1 champions slipped to third place in the table thanks to Tinotenda Kadwere's goal in the 35th minute in the French capital.

But six minutes into second-half added time, Neymar was fouled by Thiago Mendes, who was sent off after a VAR referral.
