Tuchel throws doubt on Neymar’s Dortmund availability

Thomas Tuchel has cast doubt on Neymar’s ability to play for Paris Saint-Germain in Tuesday’s Champions League meeting with Borussia Dortmund.

The Brazil international star has missed the last four matches because of a rib injury sustained in a recent Ligue 1 victory against Montpellier but was expected to be available for Saturday’s Ligue 1 encounter against Amiens.

Neymar, however, missed the 4-4 draw, and while Kylian Mbappe and others were rested, it was suggested that PSG did not want to take any risks over the world’s most expensive player.
