The team’s technical director, Mauricio Pochettino, stated that the return of the forward represents “ a great joy for him and for the team “.
It will not be the holder
Neymar is expected to participate in the match against Lion. However, it is clear that will not be part of the starting squad , because in the opinion of Pochettino and the club’s medical department, still It lacks rhythm.
The club’s aspirations is to have Neymar on top for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, where they will face Bayern Munich, on the 7th and 13 April.
During the recovery process, the Brazilian missed matches important, such as the two duels in the last 16 of the Champions League against Barcelona
The match against Lion represents a great demand for PSG, as it is the club that second in the leaderboard. In addition, if the result of the day plays against him, it could take him away from the leadership of Ligue 1, and would put his place in the Champions in check.
