Champions League: Borussia Dortmund boss Lucien Favre says PSG have abundance of talent even without Neymar

The return of Neymar from a rib injury in time for Tuesday’s Champions League last 16 clash at Borussia Dortmund “changes almost everything... and brings a lot of confidence” to his Paris Saint-Germain team-mates, coach Thomas Tuchel said.

Tuchel named the Brazilian in his squad for their last-16 first leg tie in Germany despite the world’s most expensive player missing the French club’s last four games through injury. He has been struggling with a rib problem, but should be fit to play at Signal Iduna Park.

“He’s fine, he’s going to train, and will play if nothing happens to him,” said Tuchel in Monday’s press conference. “He has the quality, the confidence and the ability to do decisive things. His presence changes everything - it gives me and his team-mates a lot of confidence. If he’s missing, he’s missing - but we don’t have another player of that quality.”
