Edinson Cavani and Neymar

Edinson Cavani insists he has "no problem" with Neymar after the pair's on-field clash in Sunday's win over Lyon as speculation builds about the pair's relationship.

The pair appeared to disagree over who would take PSG's penalty in the closing stages. Reports suggest they clashed again in the dressing room and had to be separated by captain Thiago Silva, and even that Neymar is lobbying for Cavani to be sold in January.

But Uruguay striker Cavani said: "I don't know why these stories are created. The truth is that these are normal things; things that happen in football. I learned of the story talking with my brother, about people saying that 'Cavani won't let anyone take penalties' and that there's a problem with Neymar. The truth is that there's no problem.

"He [Neymar] has just arrived and like I said from the off, we are keen for him to adapt in the best way possible. I think that's been proven because you can see he is adapting quickly."
