Neymar came on as a late second half substitute on Saturday, as PSG eased to a 4-0 win against Ligue 1 rivals Monaco.

It was the 26-year-old's first game for Les Parisiens since he suffered a foot injury against Marseille in February.

And the former Santos star was left fearing the worst after his compatriot trod on his crocked right foot.

A worried Marquinhos instantly grabbed the leg of Neymar - who let out a loud scream just as Thiago Silva was lifting the Trophee des Champions cup.
