Neymar will return to training in March, hopes PSG coach

PARIS, Feb 26 (AFP): Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel said on Monday he hopes Neymar will return to training after the Champions League last-16 second leg against Manchester United on March 06.

The world's most expensive player has been sidelined since January 23 with a foot injury he sustained in a French Cup win over Strasbourg and was originally ruled out of action for 10 weeks.

PSG anticipate he will be back in time for a potential Champions League quarter-final in April.

Neymar has been in his native Brazil since February 20 as part of his recovery process. He missed the French club's 2-0 first leg victory.

"It's important for us that he comes back to Paris before facing Manchester United to help us and to support us.”
