Neymar could be set for another stint on the sidelines after leaving Paris Saint-Germain's match against Bordeaux on Sunday with an apparent injury.

While PSG has yet to reveal the nature of the injury, Goal's Robin Bairner reports the Brazilian limped off due to a groin problem. He suffered a similar injury with Brazil that forced him to miss one match upon his return to Paris.

The injury occurred in the second half shortly after Bordeaux tied the game at 1-1, as Neymar pulled up before walking off the pitch and straight down the tunnel.

Moments later, Kylian Mbappe also suffered an apparent injury after giving PSG a 2-1 lead. The French forward called for a substitute immediately after finding the back of the net but ultimately remained in the game. Mbappe also suffered an injury while on international duty last month that forced him to miss one match.

After taking on Strasbourg and Montpellier, PSG will close out the Champions League group stage against Red Star Belgrade on Dec. 11.
