Emery optimistic Neymar will make Champions League clash

PARIS - Paris Saint-Germain coach Unai Emery remains optimistic that superstar Neymar will be fit to face Real Madrid in its do-ordie Champions League clash despite sustaining an ankle injury in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Marseille.

Neymar, the world's most expensive player, was stretchered off 10 minutes from time at Parc des Princes as PSG opened up a 14-point lead in Ligue 1.

The 26-year-old was on his own when he innocuously rolled his ankle and flopped to the turf in pain.
