No problem with Neymar: Cavani

Edinson Cavani has eased fears of a Paris Saint-Germain bust-up with teammate Neymar following their disagreement over a penalty kick at the weekend, with the striker insisting there is "no problem" between the pair despite conflicting reports in France.

The clashes triggered reports that the two have already fallen out since Neymar's world record 222-million-euro transfer from Barcelona in the summer. However, Cavani rejected those claims and insists that there is still a good relationship.

"These things are created. I don't know why these stories are created. The truth is that these are normal things; things that happen in football," Cavani told Gol de Medianoche de Radio Universal.

"I learned of the story just now 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."
