Neymar out of Action Until his Future is Resolved: Thomas Tuchel

Paris: Neymar will not play with Paris Saint Germain until his future is resolved, coach Thomas Tuchel said on Saturday. Neymar has fully recovered from an injury he sustained in early June while on international duty with Brazil, Tuchel said during a press conference ahead of Sundaa's Ligue 1 game against Toulouse.

"The position of the club is that if the situation is not clear, he cannot play...If the situation is clear tomorrow he can play, if not, he can't," Tuchel added. The former Barcelona player has trained "in good spirit" with the rest of the team, "but on the other hand, there is his situation with the club, which is the same," Tuchel continued.

He declined to comment whether or not Neymar being ruled out from the top-11 would mean that he would leave the club, saying that this is a question for the sporting director Leonardo.

Tuchel admitted that the uncertainty surrounding Neymar "does not help" the team, but he downplayed its effect because "everyone knows things are this way" and that "this always happens with big players".
