Neymar was showcased in grand style in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but you’ll have to wait to see him play.
And what if PSG had pulled off the coup of the century? Controversy has fueled headlines this week with Neymar’s transfer to Al Hilal.
However, according to his new coach… Neymar is not fit to play. Jorge Jesus asserts that the Brazilian is “injured” and also expresses his confusion over his national team call-up. “Neymar can do everything, he’s one of the best players in the world, I have no doubt about it, when he’s in physical condition. He arrived with a minor injury, he can’t train with the team yet. I don’t know when he’ll be able to play,” the coach explained.
“I don’t know why the Brazilian national team called him up, he’s injured,” Jorge Jesus emphasizes. “Maybe they’ll force him to go to Brazil. He won’t play because he can’t play. He can’t even train. Today, I see no reason for him to go to Brazil. He’s not training, how could he play? He needs to regain his muscle condition before he can start playing.”
Neymar underwent surgery in the heart of winter with hopes of returning to play for PSG sometime in October. Apparently, it will be at least October… or even longer.
