Dazzling for several weeks, Neymar Jr makes a prolific start to the year 2020. Wounded to the ribs (chondro-costal lesion) during the large victory against Montpellier (5-0), Parisian number 10 returned today to the PSG collective session. Nevertheless, the Reds and Blues do not want to take any risks with the Brazilian international for the match against Olympique Lyonnais (this Sunday at 9 p.m., 24th day of Ligue 1). The capital club and the player have their sights set on the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Borussia Dortmund (February 18). And according to information from The Team, “The precautions have been taken by the staff so that the Brazilian does not relapse.” In order to avoid certain bad shots against the Lyonnais, Thomas Tuchel and his staff could decide to leave him to rest, specifies the sports daily on its website.
Regarding Marquinhos, The Team says the Parisian defender will forfeit against OL in the same way as Abdou Diallo and Colin Dagba. The 25 year old player “Still hasn’t touched up the ball, but he’s continuing his racing program.” However, the Paris defender is on time for a return before the European meeting against the BVB. Finally, Juan Bernat – injured calf for several weeks – “Seems ready but, again, his presence in Dortmund is what guides the staff”, concludes the sports daily.
