According to our information, Neymar will stay this Wednesday in Paris while his team moves to Dijon for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France (6.30 p.m.). Number 10 still suffers from a chondro-costal lesion, following contact with a Montpellier defender on February 1.
This Tuesday at Camp des Loges, Thomas Tuchel was cautious about the management of his star. The principle of absolute precaution prevails with the player, who has played with Paris only one of the four games (round trip) possible in the knockout stages of the Champions League, injured in the 5th metatarsal of the foot each time.
A dilemma for Amiens
His discomfort is real and handicaps him even if the player seems to train normally for several days. His return to competition was planned for the reception of Lyon last Sunday (4-2).
It remains to be seen whether he will be aligned at Amiens this Saturday in the French Championship. He needs to regain rhythm after two weeks of absence. But the launch on Saturday, three days before the match in Dortmund, is also a risk-taking measure. The slightest sore in Picardy could cost him his presence in the Ruhr area. Thomas Tuchel will say more this Wednesday after the trip to Dijon or Friday the day before the match in Amiens.
