Pochettino uncertain of Neymar return ahead of Real Madrid Champions League tie
Posted Tuesday, January 25, 2022 by Marca.com
Mauricio Pochettino has expressed his uncertainty on whether Neymar will have fully recovered and be at his disposal for the first leg of Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League last-16 tie against Real Madrid.
The Ligue 1 side will host Real Madrid at the Parc des Princes on February 15, but they may have to do so without Neymar, who picked up an ankle injury on November 28 against Saint-Etienne.
"We don't know yet [if Neymar will be fit to face Real Madrid]," Pochettino told the press after PSG's 4-0 win over Stade Reims on Sunday.
"We will look at his recovery over the next week. He will be available if all goes well. We hope so, but we still don't know."
The Brazilian star is expected to return to action in PSG's Ligue 1 duel away at Lille on February 6.
