Almost two months after his left ankle injury against Saint-Etienne, PSG: Messi has still not resumed”>Neymar is set to return to racing. The Brazilian begins a time trial to be ready for the Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Real Madrid on February 15. The timing should be very tight.

It’s already time for preparations for the final phase of the Champions League for PSG. While Kylian Mbappé felt calf pain in the last match against Brest (2-0), the Parisian staff will not take any risks with the French international for this European deadline. This caution is all the more justified since, according to The Team, the club of the capital does not want to accumulate the problems whereas it would still have no guarantee concerning the return of Neymar. Even if good news is looming.
The Brazilian, severely injured in the left ankle on November 28 during the match against Saint-Étienne (3-1), is about to resume racing from the start of next week as announced by the club. The start of a time trial with a view to seeing the Parisian striker play in the round of 16 of C1 against Real Madrid on February 15. The timing is very tight, but Neymar would have shown determination during his recovery period.
The 28-year-old has worked hard in recent weeks to maintain his cardio and exercise his quadriceps, the newspaper says. However, it will still take time before he regains the fullness of his physical and technical abilities. The date of his return to the field is therefore still uncertain. The Team judge « improbable » his presence against Nice, on January 31, for the eighth final of the Coupe de France of the capital club when it was a recent objective.
In the most optimistic scenario, Neymar would therefore only have the matches against Lille (February 6), Rennes (February 11 or 12), plus a possible Cup quarter-final between the two L1 matches to find rhythm and skills. sensations before going to challenge Carlo Ancelotti’s team. A very meager program after two months of absence. Especially since the Brazilian often needed time after his last injuries to regain his level.
