Phew of relief for Thomas Tuchel. Neymar has still not recovered from his groin injury and has been withdrawn from the Brazilian national team’s match against Venezuela and Uruguay, the Brazilian Football Confederation said on Thursday. Neymar’s injury is progressing well, “but this is not enough for him to be available for the match against Uruguay“Tuesday in Montevideo, said the doctor of the Brazilian selection, Rodrigo Lasmar, quoted in the statement of the Confederation.
The Paris Saint-Germain striker had already been withdrawn from the game against Venezuela on Friday in Sao Paulo, due to this groin injury at the end of October during a Champions League match with PSG.
Parisian coach Thomas Tuchel had decided that his star player would not make his return until the end of November, which did not prevent the Brazilian Confederation from calling him to the national team. “It’s the right of the national team to call up players, we can’t do anything, honestly. I always prefer, if boys are hurt, that they don’t play“, he declared on November 6, before minimizing the dispute:”At the same time, we have confidence in the national teams, (in the fact) that they take good care of the players.”
