The 29-year-old has been ruled out of action for up to four weeks and will miss his team’s crunch encounter against Barcelona in the Champions League Round of 16 game next week.
A distraught Neymar took to his Instagram account on Thursday to express his frustration with his current predicament.
The former Barcelona and Santos man also hit out at his critics, who often accuse him of being a diver.
“The sadness is great, the pain is immense and the crying is constant,” Neymar wrote.
”Once again, I will stop for a while doing what I love the most in life, which is playing football. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable because of my style of play, because I dribble and they constantly hit me.
“I don’t know if the problem is me or what I do on the field. It saddens me a lot. It saddens me a lot to hear from a player, coach, commentator or whoever the hell it is, that ‘you really have to hit him’, ‘he falls’, ‘he cries’, ‘a child’, ‘spoiled’ etc. It honestly saddens me and I don’t even know how much I can bear it. I just want to be happy playing football. NOTHING ELSE.”
Neymar has already missed a lot of games for the Parisians this season due to injuries but has managed to score 13 goals and provide six assists in 18 appearances in all competitions.
