Neymar is currently still struggling with injuries. However, the Brazilian PSG star has entered the recovery process. How big is the chance to be fit on time to face Real Madrid in Matchday 5 Champions League?
PSG will travel to the Santiago Bernabeu to face Madrid in their fifth match in Group A on Wednesday (11/27/2019). For this match, the French representative seems to be able to be strengthened by Neymar again.
Neymar suffered a left thigh injury last October 2019, while undergoing international duties with the Selecao. Seeing the latest conditions, Neymar is expected to return to defend PSG after this international break.
Final Stage of Recovery
n this, Neymar can also take a rest, because coach Thomas Tuchel gives PSG players who are not called on by the national team until Sunday (11/17/2019) tomorrow.
Starting Monday (11/18/2019) later, Neymar is expected to return to training on the field for the first time since injury. The hope is that he can be fit enough for the match against Lille in Ligue 1 after the international break, then against Madrid in the Champions League four days later.
PSG Chasing Champion Group
On the first matchday, PSG beat Madrid 3-0 in Paris. Angel Di Maria bought up two goals, while Thomas Meunier contributed one goal.
PSG has now collected 12 points from four matches in Group A. PSG has already qualified for the knockout phase with two matches remaining.
However, PSG is not certain to win the group. Behind them, there are Madrid (7 points), Club Brugge (2 points), and Galatasaray (1 point).
Only Madrid can still threaten PSG at the top. However, Madrid can still be shifted by Club Brugge from second place.
Matchday 5 will be very decisive. PSG will secure the group winners if they don't lose at the Bernabeu. Meanwhile, Madrid will qualify if they defeat PSG, or if Club Brugge fails to defeat Galatasaray in the other party.
