The coach of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Christophe Galtier, ruled out this Friday that Neymar is recovered in time to play the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, next Wednesday.

“No, I think it will be low against Bayern Munich“said the coach when asked about the possibility of a return for Neymar during the usual press conference prior to the League match that will take place this weekend.

The medical part published this same day by the Parisian club indicates that the striker continued with his recovery and that next Monday a new valuation would be released.

The Brazilian player suffers a sprained ankle “with ligament injuries” since last February, an injury whose period of absence immediately made him a question mark for the decisive appointment in Germany.

Bayern’s previous victory in the first leg at the Parc des Princes (0-1) forces the French team to a great feat at the Allianz Arena next Wednesday.

For that appointment, Galtier does hope to have the defender Achraf Hakimi, who not only had also been away from the pitch due to injury, but this week was accused of raping a 24-year-old girl.

“I will not answer any questions about Achraf Hakimi’s extra-sports aspects”the coach made clear, before adding that the club has already ruled on the situation, referring to the fact that, when it was learned at the beginning of the week that the player was being investigated, the team showed confidence in Justice and supported the international Moroccan, who denies the accusations.
