Paris Saint-Germain winger Neymar was stretchered off with an ankle injury on Sunday in his side's 3-1 win over Saint-Etienne.

The Brazil international rolled on the floor in visible pain following a tackle from a Saint-Etienne defender, leading him to be stretchered off on 85 minutes as teammate Lionel Messi inspired a come-from-behind victory.

Neymar took to Instagram after the game and promised to come back stronger from the potentially-lengthy injury.

"Unfortunately, these setbacks are a part of an athlete's life," he said on Instagram.

"Now you have to raise your head and move on. I will come back better and stronger."
