A FRENCH World Cup winner tore into Neymar and declared: “I’m happy he’s injured.”
The Paris Saint-Germain forward, 31, was stretchered off in tears during the 4-3 win over Lille on February 19.

And it was confirmed the Brazilian will miss the rest of the season because he needs surgery in Qatar to repair ankle ligaments.
That ruled him out of playing around his sister Rafaella’s birthday on March 11 for the ninth time in ten seasons.
The news comes as a big blow to PSG in their hopes of overturning the deficit in their Champions League second leg against Bayern Munich.
But Christophe Dugarry incredibly celebrated the world’s most expensive player’s latest woes – and thinks his long-term absence is good news for the Ligue 1 leaders.
The World Cup 1998 and Euro 2000 winner – who looks unrecognisable these days – blasted in a scathing assessment: “I’m happy for PSG that Neymar is injured.
“I think this is an incredible opportunity, an amazing stroke of luck for Christophe Galtier.
“The team is much more balanced with five defenders, three midfielders and Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi up front.
“I can’t bear to see him anymore, I can’t stand him anymore.

“I find him insufferable in his dribbling and with that attitude.
“I don’t want to see him on the field anymore, I’m tired.”
Neymar’s injury has seen Messi and Mbappe partner up front together in a new-look 3-5-2 formation.
However, Dugarry worries for PSG should either man be ruled out for any period of time due to a severe lack of depth in the squad’s attack.
The 20-year-old Hugo Ekitike, on loan from Reims, is the only other senior forward at manager Galtier’s disposal.
Ex-Barcelona and Birmingham man Dugarry added to RMC Sport: “Hugo Ekitike has shown that he is still not at the desired level and the other attackers are also mediocre.”
