While PSG pray to the gods of football that Neymar is restored for the shock of the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund on February 18, the Germans, them, have already had to resign themselves to not count on their Captain Marco Reus. The club has indeed announced the package of his player, "victim of a muscle injury" and unavailable for a minimum of one month.
Wounded Tuesday during the elimination of Borussia in the German Cup by Werder Bremen, the 30-year-old striker "will be able to return to training in about 4 weeks", said the current Bundesliga third on his twitter account.

For the shock to go against PSG, the Rhineland club thus loses one of its most precious offensive triggers. Since the start of the season, the German international has scored eleven goals and delivered six assists in the league. His presence is also not guaranteed for the return leg, scheduled for March 11 at the Parc des Princes.
Without it, the Borussia will rely even more on its new nugget of attack, the Norwegian Erling Braut Haaland (19 years old), author of breakthrough beginnings since his arrival this winter from Salzburg. On the Paris Saint-Germain side, in addition to the Ney, concerns are more focused on defense, an orphan for the time being of captain Thiago Silva, Marquinhos or Juan Bernat.
