Why Neymar is in Barcelona while the PSG star is recovering from an injury

Given the intense speculation, Neymar and PSG may have chosen another destination to continue his rehabilitation.

The injured Brazilian striker will miss a crucial part of the French club's season after breaking his fifth metatarsal right foot last month.

His absence was not felt, however, with his teammates securing a solid 2-0 lead in the Champions League before the second leg against Manchester United.

But with PSG making the bulk of the hard work of the first game, he will want to be ready with a likely place for the quarter-finals.

And the 27-year-old has decided to seek treatment in Barcelona, ​​according to Mundo Deportivo.

Neymar left camp Nou for a world record of £ 200 million in August 2017.

But since then, speculation is rife on the question of when and not when he returns to the club.

He even calls on one of Barca's former doctors to prepare a return to action faster than expected after being sidelined until April.

Kylian Mbappe called at the end of the "alarmist stories" about the injuries of their star players.

Edinson Cavani also attended the trip to Manchester United, but missing stars were not expensive.

"We have to end alarmist stories," said the World Cup winner. "People must stop being scared.

"We showed it tonight, we are good.

"Of course, Neymar is extremely important and Cavani is fundamental to us, but football is played on the pitch and we have shown it.

"French football has to go as far as possible in the European Cup, people have to support us – we will support Lyon [vs Barcelona] next week."

His coach knows that the tie is far from over.

"We know we are capable of winning, but they are also capable of winning in Paris," said Thomas Tuchel.

"We are only half-time in the game and we have to be ready for the second half."

The recovery in the French capital will take place on March 6th.
