There were doubts about Neymar's presence in PSG's next league match. In the end, Tuchel took it upon himself to dispel them: the Brazilian will not play against Lyon.
The coaching staff has decided that the best thing is for Neymar not to play. He has also ruled out the presence of Thiago Silva in the match.
Tuchel doesn't want to take any chances and, for this reason, he has decided that the best thing for Neymar and Thiago is for them to rest.
"It is too soon for Neymar to play", he explained in PSG's pre-match press conference. Tuchel has a long list of players out.
For the match in question, he has several players out. "Dagba, Bernat and Diallon will not be there. Marquinhos, Neymar and Thiago Silva trained on Saturday with us, but they won't play either", he added.
