"Sad news for you, my brother. I know how important this competition was to you, but you will come back even stronger. Keep your smile, it will always be your strength", wrote Mbappé on social media.

The Frenchman's message was accompanied by a photo of the two smiling just before a PSG game.

Neymar will miss the Copa America after sustaining an injury whilst playing for Brazil in a friendly against Qatar last night. He felt a pain in his ankle which, after being evaluated, has been categorised as a slight ankle break.

Brazil's star man will now not play in the tournament, adding to his off the field problems which have seen him accused of rape by a Brazilian model in a Paris hotel last month.
