Everything comes to those who wait !
Four and a half years after signing for PSG, Neymar will finally discover Beaujoire on the occasion of the 25th day of the championship and the trip from PSG to Nantes!
As incredible as it may seem, the Brazilian has, after almost five years in France, not yet had the opportunity to face the Canaries in their garden.
After several rabbits, the Nantes public should therefore finally have a date with the Brazilian star this evening.
He is indeed part, with his attacking companions Leo Messi and Kylian Mbappé, as expected of the 22 players selected by Mauricio Pochettino.
Leandro Paredes, affected in the adductors and Sergio Ramos, still in trouble with a calf, were betrayed by their physique while Layvin Kurzawa, Colin Dagba, Edouard Michut and Éric Junior Dina Ebimbe were not invited.
Quite the opposite of Neymar who, four days after coming into play against Real Madrid, is fit for his very first time at La Beaujoire.
On January 14, 2018, suffering from the ribs, the international auriverde had indeed been exempted from traveling to Loire-Atlantique, for what should have been his first trip to Nantes.
Plagued by wounds
The beginning of a series of physical glitches which deprived La Beaujoire of number 10 of PSG.
In April 2019, it was because of his metatarsal fracture.
In February 2020, place to a chest contusion caused by a shock with a Montpellier player three days earlier in Ligue 1. And in 2021, Neymar has creaking adductors.
2022 therefore seems to be the good one.
After missing nine Ligue 1 games (sprained left ankle in Saint-Étienne on November 28), Neymar is able to return to the starting lineup.
Good news three weeks before the return match against Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
