Paris Saint-German goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon acknowledges that his side will miss the injured Neymar when they face Manchester United in the Champions League.

Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has admitted that the French giants will miss Neymar when they play Manchester United in the Champions League.

The world's most expensive player suffered a foot injury last month, and it has resulted in the Brazilian being ruled out of action until the end of March.

PSG remain the slight favourites to overcome United, but Buffon has acknowledged that Neymar's absence is 'dangerous' to the club's ambitions of winning the trophy at the end of the campaign.

The 41-year-old told reporters: "Every year, I always thought it could be the right year, but it is now 24 years since I am trying to win the Champions League.

"It's very hard to do so. You have to be a bit lucky. Right now for us, it's a special time because Ney got injured. For us, Ney is a very important player because he did unbelievable stuff for the team during the last three months. For us, it's dangerous to not have him."

PSG suffered their first defeat in Ligue 1 this season on Sunday night as they were defeated by Lyon.
