Neymar received a very bad news

He did everything he could, but it wasn't enough. Neymar wanted to be in the Champions League rematch against Barcelona, in what could mean the historic elimination of the Catalans in the hands of PSG. But one day before the match, the Brazilian received news that he didn't want to hear: he didn't recover from the injury and wasn't allowed to play.

PSG's medical department indicated that Neymar did not pass the last tests he was subjected to on Tuesday and consequently will not be available to the team this Wednesday at the Parque de los Príncipes stadium, the French media RMC and Le10Sport reported. The loss of the Brazilian, who also didn't play the first leg that PSG won at the Camp Nou 4-1, doesn't represent a problem in principle for the team's coach, the Argentine Mauricio Pochettino, due to the good advantage he achieved in the first match.

Recall that Neymar injured his adductor muscle as a result of a tough tackle against Caen on February 10, in Ligue 1, and the estimated time out was one month, which's just now on the return match against Barcelona. However, he didn't pass the tests he was subjected to and they decided not even to include him on the payroll to join the bank of substitutes.

As for the formation of the team, Pochettino has several important casualties. Neymar will not be the only one absent in the PSG formation, who will not be able to count on Juan Bernat and Gueye either, while the Argentines Ángel Di Maria and Leandro Paredes will start, and it is estimated that Rosario Mauro Icardi will be among the substitutes .
