Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar believes the groin injury he suffered in Brazil's friendly with Cameroon is "nothing serious".

Neymar, 26, went off just eight minutes into his nation's 1-0 victory on Tuesday, sparking fears that he may be sidelined for PSG's upcoming Champions League visit of Liverpool.

But, the superstar forward echoed the thoughts of Brazil's team doctor, insisting that the injury was not significant.
