NEYMAR was spotted using crutches after Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 clash with St Etienne on Sunday.
The striker was stretchered off the pitch in the closing stages of PSG's 3-1 win at the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium following a nasty tackle from Yvann Macon.
Macon's poor tackle trapped Neymar's left ankle and left him writing in agony.
Thankfully for the former Barcelona man, his injury didn't require a trip to the hospital.
But he did have to make use of a protective boot as well as crutches as he made his way to the team bus.
French champions PSG are currently unsure of the severity of Neymar's latest injury.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino said: "We will have to see this tomorrow but from the images.
"I hope that it's not a big deal and that he will be back with the squad quickly.
"But the action is not good."

The world's most expensive player will undergo scans on his ankle on Monday to find out the severity of the damage.
Pochettino later said of the injury: "There is nothing more to say for the moment.
"It is the pain he felt in the leg with his ankle that turned.
"We will have the exams tomorrow and we will see."
Neymar took to Instagram shortly after the match, vowing to 'come back better and stronger'.
He said: "Let's recover, unfortunately, these setbacks are part of an athlete's life.
"Now that's what you have, lift your head and let's go. I'll come back better and stronger."
Paris Saint-Germain will be back in action on Wednesday night, welcoming Nice to the Parc des Princes.
