Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier said on Friday March 3 that Neymar, injured in an ankle, ” will not be available against Bayern Munich on Wednesday in the knockout stages of the Champions League. The Brazilian injured his right ankle against Lille two weeks ago. In the first leg against Bayern, Paris was beaten 1-0 on February 14 at the Parc des Princes. ” On the next two matches (Nantes and Bayern), we will not have Ney available “, explained the coach during a press conference, the day before Paris SG-Nantes in Ligue 1. ” Our block is much more compact, denser. With the absence of Ney, instead of having two midfielders, we will be with three midfielders and two attackers. To tell you that Ney’s absence is trivial, no. He is one of the best passers in Ligue 1 and it is still a detrimental absence for us “, continued the coach. Neymar “continues his rehabilitation, a point will be made on Monday to clarify the evolution”, had specified the club in a medical press release before the press conference of Galtier. PSG will also not be able to count against Nantes on Renato Sanches, affected in the thigh since the beginning of February, while the season of defender Presnel Kimpembe, seriously injured in the Achilles tendon, is already over. Defender Nordi Mukiele, who did an individual warm-up, then trained with the group and will be available for Saturday’s match at the Parc des Princes.
