The Brazilian player has trained today together with his teammates in Paris and he is likely to be fully recovered for next Wednesday when PSG take on FC Barcelona on the second leg of the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. This way, Neymar should be fit to finally face his former team in a clash where the Parisians hold and advantaje of four to one (4-1).

According to the prestigious French media L'Équipe, the Brazilian star will be part of the squad nominated by coach Mauricio Pocchettino to play against the 'Culés'. After suffering an injury on one of his leg abductors last february, Neymar missed the last four weeks of action but is set to return against Barcelona.

With the world-star fully recovered and ready to play, the club from Paris will only regret minimum absences for the trascendental encounter against the Catalan giant. Spaniard left-back Juan Bernat and Italian youngster Moise Kean will be the only players to be absent in the monumental clash.

After suffering an unforgettable and quite terrific elimination against Barcelona in 2017 while holding a quite similar advantage -PSG had won the first leg in Paris 4-1 but ended up losing 6-1 at Camp Nou- the team coached by Pocchettino wants to revert that image and finally break the spell qualyfing for the quarterfinals.
