Neymar could make PSG return in Trophee des Champions - Thomas Tuchel

Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel suggested Neymar could make his first appearance for the club in nearly six months during the Trophee des Champions game against Monaco on Saturday in Shenzhen, China.

Neymar has not played for PSG since breaking a bone in his right foot in February. The forward landed in China on Wednesday and was immediately met by a mob of fans as he arrived at the airport.

"I am very happy that our Brazilians are now back," Tuchel said at a news conference. "We will not take any risk in order for them to play. We must be careful and make sure that they are ready."

Tuchel said he would not share whether any of the three players would face Monaco, "but I have my idea of who will play, for how long and under which conditions" and confirmed they all could be selected.

It has been a busy past few days for Neymar, as in addition to regrouping with his teammates, he rejoined training and then took part in various commercial activities.
