Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will be without Neymar for at least Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League clash with RB Leipzig in Group A after the Brazilian superstar returned from international duty with a groin issue.
Neymar, 29, has trained since returning to the French capital but the pain forced him to cut short training ahead of the Germans’ visit to Parc des Princes and he will now miss the clash along with Leandro Paredes and Sergio Ramos.
“Neymar Jr had some pain in his groin since returning from international duty,” read a brief PSG medical update.
“He will undergo more treatment over the next few days before returning to full training.”
Parisien head coach, Mauricio Pochettino said that there was no issue with the French giants’ medical staff even though they cleared him for training, and he has now been ruled out against Jesse Marsch’s Leipzig.
“The player’s health remains the priority,” said the Argentine at Monday’s pre-match press conference.
“Neymar has a little issue. We hope that it will only last a few days. If the medical staff tell me that a player can play for sure, then he plays.
“Our decisions as the technical staff follow 100% what we are told by the medical sector.
They were fine with Neymar training. He felt awkward towards the end of the session and that stopped him from participating. The medical team checked him out and agreed that he should not play.”
