Neymar is expected to be out for four weeks after the Paris Saint-Germain star suffered a hamstring injury on international duty.
The Brazil forward was withdrawn in the 12th minute of the Selecao's 1-1 friendly draw with Nigeria on Sunday.
PSG announced Neymar had an MRI scan on Monday that confirmed the injury, which will be re-evaluated in eight days.
Neymar has played just five games for PSG this season owing to an ankle injury picked up in June.
The ex-Barcelona forward did not make his first appearance until September, having attempted to force a move away from the club he joined for a world-record €222million fee in 2017.
He was booed by the home fans on his return to the side in a 1-0 victory over Strasbourg, in which he scored a spectacular overhead kick winner.
The 27-year-old has four goals in his five games for Thomas Tuchel's men, who have a two-point lead in Ligue 1 and have two wins from two in the Champions League.
Speaking after the stalemate with the Super Eagles, Brazil coach Tite said Neymar was not a pre-match injury risk.
"It would be irresponsible and incompetent of me [to play him if he was a doubt]," Tite explained.
"I would have to receive the complaints of the coach and the president of PSG if that happened."
