According to TT news agency, a source in the club says the brass is not in shape to play.

The striker's absence, of course, reinforces the stubborn rumors that Neymar is on his way away from the French capital. Above all, he has been linked with Real Madrid, but it has also been rumored to be a loan to his old club Barcelona.

The club's sports director Leonardo tells AFP that a move is closer than before, but that PSG has still not given the go-ahead for a move.

Last season, Neymar scored 15 goals in Ligue 1 and finished in shared fifth place in the shooting league. Only Edinson Cavani (18) scored more goals for PSG.

On Friday, it was announced that the Sao Paulo court will shut down the case of rape charges against Neymar as there is too little evidence.
