Neymar Is Fit To Play Against Bayern Munich – Coach Emery

Brazil sensation, Neymar has been included in Paris St Germain’s squad for Wednesday’s Champions League game against Bayern Munich.

 

The former Barcelona ace has been declared fit to play after recovering from a foot injury, coach Unai Emery said on Tuesday.

His return fuelled speculation over whether the Neymar or Edinson Cavani would take a penalty if the French club are awarded one during the Group B game at the Parc des Princes.

The two players argued in the 2-0 win over Olympique Lyonnais nine days ago when Neymar tried to take a penalty instead of Uruguayan Cavani, who eventually had his spot-kick parried away by the keeper.

“Neymar is in the squad to play the game tomorrow,” Emery told a news conference.

Neymar, the world’s most expensive footballer, missed PSG’s 0-0 draw at Montpellier on Saturday as the team dropped their first points of the season in Ligue 1.

Argentine winger Angel Di Maria also returns to the PSG squad after nearly three weeks out injured.

Neymar and Cavani are likely to start alongside Kylian Mbappe in a 4-3-3 formation and Emery said he had discussed the penalty situation with the players.

“I spoke with each of them and they know how things will happen,” the Spanish coach said.
