PSG in French Cup semis

Paris, March 1 (IANS) Three-time defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) recorded their second straight 3-0 victory over Marseille in three days and secured a berth in the French Cup semifinals here.

PSG had won by the same margin in last weekend's Ligue 1, but that was overshadowed by Neymar's injury, Xinhua news agency reported.

Neymar, is expected to undergo a surgery at the end of this week in Brazil for a fifth metatarsal fracture in his right foot.

It would rule him out of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 second leg against Real Madrid next week.

PSG lost the first leg 3-1.
