Neymar will not have to undergo surgery on a metatarsal injury in his foot, instead opting for more conservative treatment, which will rule him out for 10 weeks.
The Brazil national team visited Paris on Tuesday and, along with Paris Saint-Germain and a team of medical experts, reached the decision that an operation was not necessary.
Neymar injured his foot on Jan. 23 in a French Cup game againsth Strasbourg, leaving the pitch in tears.
PSG face Manchester United in the last 16 of the Champions League but Neymar will not be back for either leg of the tie -- the first leg is at Old Trafford on Feb. 12 and the second in Paris on March 6.
If PSG progress, the quarterfinals are scheduled for April 9 and 16. Neymar's unlikely to be ready for the first leg but could come into contention for the second leg.
