In a video published this Friday on its social networks, PSG shows Neymar, all smiles, in training among his partners. Indeed, the 29-year-old Brazilian has partially resumed collective training in the past 48 hours. But as was already the case the day before, the playmaker did not do the entire collective session this Friday. He only took part in the warm-up, participating in the “toros” with the group, before going to work individually with a physical trainer for the rest of the session.
Neymar has been deprived of competition since his left ankle injury on November 28 in Saint-Étienne (1-3). The signals sent this week are rather positive, even if his return to an official match should not take place this Sunday in Lille, at 8:45 p.m., at the end of the 23rd day of Ligue 1.
The former Barcelona man is getting closer and closer to a return to normal. It is expected that he will resume collective training soon, with the hope of participating in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Real Madrid, on February 15 at the Parc des Princes.
Ramos and Icardi indoors
In addition, Sergio Ramos, victim of a small tear in the right calf in training last week, did not go out on the field this Friday. The Spanish defender notably cycled indoors. The club should give more details on his case in a medical statement this Saturday, on the sidelines of Mauricio Pochettino’s press conference to be held at 1 p.m.
Mauro Icardi did not do collective training either and was content with indoor work, just like Georginio Wijnaldum (left ankle). Finally, Marquinhos, Angel Di Maria and Achraf Hakimi, all back from selection, participated well in the session. They should be able to be in the group for the trip to Hauts-de-France this Sunday.
