STEPHANE DE SAKUTIN / AFP
The most optimistic forecast was for a four-week absence.
And a priori, it will not take more for Neymar to return.
Injured on February 10 during a match in Caen in the Coupe de France, the Brazilian should be fit for the round of 16 second leg against Barça on March 10.
While Mauricio Pochettino had indicated Wednesday that the recovery of his striker was "favorable", the latter participated in the start of the collective training of PSG this Friday, as shown in the images broadcast by the club.
Di Maria and Verratti too
Too fair to face Brest on Saturday in the Cup, of course, Neymar should therefore apply for a place in the group for Wednesday.
Even if he will probably start on the bench, this return will do him the greatest good, he who had expressed his "immense pain" and his "tears" at the prospect of once again missing the round of 16 of C1.
No risk will be taken by the staff, however, who expects the Brazilian in top form for the quarter-finals, if the clear victory to go to Camp Nou (1-4) is confirmed at the Park.
Note that Angel Di Maria and Marco Verratti were also present in the middle of their teammates this Friday morning.
Good news for PSG, which sees its infirmary gradually emptying.
