Thomas Tuchel was therefore not listened to more by Tite than by Didier Deschamps.

Despite the reluctance of the PSG coach, Neymar, injured in the adductors, will travel to Brazil for the Seleçao rally next week.

Like Kylian Mbappé with the France team.

Neymar will not be able to play on November 13, but the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) confirmed in a statement Friday that the striker (28) will join the national team on Monday, hoping to be lined up for the clash against Uruguay on November 17 in Montevideo.

"We believe that with a week of intensive treatment, we will have the opportunity to see him recover for the second game, we will closely monitor his progress", said the doctor of the Brazilian national team Rodrigo Lasmar, quoted in the CBF press release.

For the game against Venezuela, coach Tite has called up young striker Pedro, 23, who is currently in great shape with Flamengo.

And the CBF prefers to wait until the last moment to know if Neymar will be able to play or not during the clash against Celeste in Montevideo.

This summons of "Ney" in selection, which is therefore added to that of Kylian Mbappé, does not do the business of Thomas Tuchel, who had said he hoped that his two superstars could breathe and recover during the international break.

But faced with the evidence, he did not want to add more, this Friday at a press conference.

“It's the right of the national team to call players, we can not do anything, he observed.

Even though I always prefer, if boys are injured, that they don't play.

"

Titus spoke to Leonardo

The coach made it clear that he had "confidence in the national teams to take good care of the players".

The CBF ensures that the decision to bring Neymar to the rally was duly communicated in advance Thursday to Leonardo, the Parisian sports director.

"We know his club are worried about this injury, but we have expressed our intention to follow its progress closely," said Juninho Paulista, coordinator of the Brazilian selection, also quoted in the statement of the CBF on Friday.

"Tite made it clear to Leonardo that he would never risk a player's health," he added.
