Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is on the lookout for the Adductor injury suffered by Neymar
During Wednesday's game against Istanbul Basaksehir, on the second day of the Champions League, I find that Thomas Tuchel's men won 2-0. The expedition landed at 4 in the morning at Roissy airport and this Thursday Neymar must pass the tests to know the extent of the ailment.
Neymar believes that it is not a serious injury, as the Brazilian star confided to his surroundings, according to the newspaper Le Parisien. Tuchel told the RMC Sport channel he fears that, although it is a minor ailment, Neymar's absence will make him miss, given the tight schedule, several games.
It is unlikely that Neymar will be able to play this Saturday's PSG match at Nantes' home, whatever the diagnosis, because as a precaution Tuchel would let him rest. The former Barcelona player has missed 4 of the 10 official games played by PSG so far this season. On the one hand, Neymar tested positive for Covid-19 and on the other he was sanctioned as a result of the classic PSG-Marseille. In Ligue 1, PSG is the leader tied on points with Lille. In the Champions League, 2nd in group H, 3 points behind Manchester United.
It is evident that Tuchel will not run any risk with NeymarEven more so considering that the adductor injury is one of those that, if it relapses, can lead to a longer period of inactivity if the reappearance is too early.
The French Football Federation stopped all non-professional competitions on Thursday (including the men's and women's French Cup) until December 1 due to the tightening of measures against the Covid-19 pandemic.
