Neymar, getting closer: PSG would give him minutes against Real Madrid in the Champions League

Neymar kept calm, despite the seriousness of the last injury he suffered. The Brazilian carried out the rehabilitation work full of optimism and, after hard work, he will have a great reward. Two days after PSG vs. Real Madrid, the player showed that he is fully recovered and ready to step on a pitch.

Throughout this week, Paris Saint Germain shared postcards of ‘Ney’ back in group work. However, coach Mauricio Pochettino clarified that the footballer was not yet ready to be called up for the game against Rennes last Friday in Ligue 1.

And so it was, Neymar was not considered for the aforementioned commitment, but the South American continued with the work at Camp des Loges. Thus, this Sunday, RMC Sport reported that the former Barcelona completed the session without any problem and the evolution of the ankle injury progressed in the best way.

That said, the French broadcaster announced that the crack of the Brazilian team will be on the list of players who will participate in the game against Real Madrid. Not only that, the Argentine strategist from ‘Les Parisiens’ plans to give the gunner a few minutes in what would mark his return to official activity.

Neymar’s last time on the pitch was on November 28 against Saint Etienne in the domestic championship. After that contest, the Parisians confirmed the hard injury of the 30-year-old man. Since then, the striker has missed a total of 13 games for his club in all tournaments. Not to mention that the ‘Canarinha’ did not take him into account for the Qualifiers.

Nothing with Sergio Ramos

The other side of the coin is Sergio Ramos. The cited source indicated that the Spanish central defender will not play against his former club. The world champion ran on grass these days, but he has not managed to fully recover from the discomfort in his calf. This leaves no opportunity to be summoned by Pochettino.

Champions League

Real Madrid visits PSG’s home on Tuesday, February 15 at 3:00 pm (Peruvian time) at the Parque de los Príncipes stadium in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. The rematch in the capital of Spain will only be on Wednesday, March 9, at the same time, but from the Santiago Bernabéu.
