Paris Saint-Germain manager, Thomas Tuchel, has confirmed Neymar will remain unavailable to him, until the player’s future is resolved, even though he is fit to return to action.
The 27-year-old did not play a minute of preseason football with the French champions, amid heavy speculation linking him with Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Speaking at a prematch news conference ahead of Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash at home to Toulouse, Tuchel clarified the situation surrounding Neymar.
“Neymar is in better shape. He has had a good week with his teammates, working hard with intensity and a good mentality.
“However, the club’s position is clear: while his situation is unclear, he cannot play.
“If Neymar’s situation became clear tomorrow, then he could play,” he said.
