Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel has insisted that Neymar returning to action before the winter break is "not impossible".

It was initially feared that the Brazilian had sustained a fracture after a late tackle from Thiago Mendes, with the mercurial attacker forced to leave the pitch on a stretcher.
