The Paris Saint-Germain player was injured in the 26th minute of Wednesday’s game with the Basaksehir Turks. He suffered an adductor injury and will not return to the fields until 20 November.
Brazilian international footballer Neymar suffered an injury to the adductors and is only expected to return to competition on November 20, after stopping for the national team games, the Paris Saint-Germain coach revealed this Friday.
Thomas Tuchel understands that it will not be possible for Neymar to play for the Brazilian team, which has games in the South American qualifying round on 14 and 17 November, with Venezuela and Uruguay, and that it should only return against Monaco, in the French league.
“I think it is not possible for him to play [in the national team],” said the German coach, reiterating that the information he has is that Neymar will only be recovered after the break for the national team games, so he will miss two matches in “Ligue 1” ( Nantes and Rennes) and one in the Champions League on Wednesday with Leipzig.
The 28-year-old striker was injured 26 minutes into Wednesday’s game with the Basaksehir Turks for the Champions League, which the French won 2-0 away.
