Olympique Lyon ended PSG’s 12 match unbeaten streak on Sunday, after Tino Kadewere scored the only goal at Parc des Princes, to put the visitors ahead before half-time.
Also, it was the first home loss for the French Champions to rivals Lyon since 2007.
Neymar’s injury further compounded PSG’s woes following a challenge from Thiago Mendes. And reports making the rounds reveals the Brazilian forward could have suffered a broken ankle.
The 28-year-old was stretched out in agony during the heated encounter, in the stoppage time with Mendes sent off after a VAR check on the foul proved affirmative.
However, PSG boss Thomas Tuchel is awaiting the results of a scan to be carried on Monday, on the Brazilian.
The head coach Tuchel told Telefoot: “No news, he’s with the doctors and we have to wait for the exams tomorrow.”

PSG are now third on the log, a point behind leaders Lille and Lyon through 14 games as pressure piles up on Tuchel
“It’s very clear we weren’t ready to play a competitive match. We made easy mistakes in dangerous situations,” said Tuchel.
“We didn’t play in a disciplined way, we didn’t follow the plan. We saw a very mentally tired team after Manchester United, Montpellier and [Istanbul] Basaksehir. It’s not a good game in general, I saw a game with a very low level.”
Tuchel added: “It doesn’t change anything, you can never control the result but this performance is not enough. It’s our fault. If we give gifts like that, it means that it’s not serious enough because we have the qualities to win every match.
“We’re going to push again. We made some steps forward, but today is a big step back.”
