A quick note for a big comeback.
"Home" wrote Neymar in an Instagram story.
Indeed, the Brazilian striker is back home.
As expected after the extra week in Brazil granted to him by the club, he traveled from Brazil this Sunday to arrive in France where he will pass a new stage in the rehabilitation of his ankle.
In agreement with the medical staff, he was thus able to stay for treatment in his native country.
It is without his crutches that he will be able to come to the Lodge camp to continue his care.
Neymar
Neymar was injured on November 28 in Saint-Étienne and the club then announced a return within six to eight weeks.
This gave us hope to see him again in mid-January.
The last medical bulletin published before the match in Lyon (1-1), rather suggests a return for the end of the month.
“Neymar continues his care with members of the medical and performance staff of Paris Saint-Germain, he said.
His return to training is still expected in about 3 weeks.

In any case, the goal remains the same: to hope for a sufficient recovery to be able to take part in the knockout stages of the Champions League on February 15 against Real Madrid.
Under these conditions, it already seems clear that Neymar will not return to Brazil at the end of the month for the international break where the Seleçao, already qualified for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, will have two scheduled matches in Ecuador and against Paraguay.
In the meantime, Mauricio Pochettino has already had to do without him and Messi twice at the start of the year - in Vannes and Lyon - since the seven-fold Golden Ball contracted the Covid during the truce.
