Paris - Paris Saint-Germain coach Thomas Tuchel has admitted Neymar is unlikely to be fit in time for the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Manchester United next month.
"It's going to be super difficult", Tuchel told Canal+ when asked if Neymar would return from a metatarsal injury in time for the game at Old Trafford on February 12.
"It is still too early to talk about a return date because we need to wait and see how 'Ney' reacts to treatment to be more precise," about a return date, he added.
