After a few weeks of recovery from a muscular injury, we finally get to see Neymar back on the pitch touching the ball during practice.
Although Neymar is still a few weeks far from going back to an official match, we finally got to see him touching the ball today. PSG fans will rejoice with the images of the Brazilian star back in action ahead of the complicated month they have ahead in all competitions. The most important match will be against FC Barcelona at Parc des Princes with Mauricio Pochettino still undecided. He still doesn’t know if risking Neymar during this match will be a good idea, especially with a 4-1 advantage on the aggregate.
Although he is likely to miss Wednesday’s Ligue 1 match at Bordeaux, Neymar’s return to the pitch is fantastic news. They will need one of their best players back in top form if they want to fight for any titles this season. Kylian Mbappe is a great asset for PSG but he won’t be able to carry the team on his own. PSG has a complicated month ahead and Pochettino has an idea as to when he might return.
Pochettino’s plan to have Neymar ready.
Risking Neymar to play the match against Barcelona might not be on Pochettino’s plans but getting him fit to play Nantes is. Before the international break, there are two matches where Neymar could return. Olympique Lyonnais is a crunch game that will decide if PSG has any chances to fight for the league this season. A game that will take place right before the international break.
If Neymar wants to be fit for the Conmebol World Cup Qualifiers, he needs to play a couple of matches before that. Pochettino understands how important playing for Brazil is for his star, which is why he wants to take this slowly. The video of him back in training today is great news for the club but they need to be careful with him. Otherwise, he will get injured again.
