Neymar in the group against Toulouse Sunday? Paris SG coach Thomas Tuchel dribbled the journalists' questions on Saturday, saying the Brazilian was "ready" to play but the matter was in the hands of the sports director.
"He can play if the situation between the club and him is clear", but "today it is not clear, maybe tomorrow it will be clear," replied the German technician about his star striker, eager to leave Paris this summer.
Relaunched several times in a press conference, Tuchel admitted that his N.10, not yet appeared in the Parisian group this season, was "ready to play", but that the final decision went to the sports director: "maybe you have to talk with Leonardo about that, "he evacuated.
Reduced by a right ankle injury in early summer, Neymar has however fully recovered, according to his coach.
"+ Ney + is more and more + fit +, he has gained a lot of capacity and has had a good week with the whole team, a week with a lot of volume, intensity," said the former coach of Dortmund.
The soap opera about a possible departure of Neymar from Paris, where he arrived in summer 2017 for the record sum of 222 million euros, will therefore continue in the following days, while the transfer window ends on 2 September.
The interest of Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, his former club, is real but the PSG has for the time rejected all approaches.
