Neymar in line for PSG return on Sunday?

Wantaway star Neymar could be in line to return to action for Paris Saint-Germain against Toulouse on Sunday.

The 27-year-old has been seeking a move away from the Parc des Princes all summer, having handed in a transfer request in July and failed to show up on time for pre-season.

According to manager Thomas Tuchel, however, the Brazilian has trained well and could return to the pitch for PSG on Sunday, if his transfer situation is sorted.

Tuchel said: "Neymar is in better condition, he's getting fitter and fitter. He trained with a lot of intensity and quality this week.

"But the case between him and the club is the same every day: if the situation of his future with the club is not clear, he won't play. But maybe it will be clear tomorrow, and he will play."

PSG fans demonstrated their displeasure at Neymar during their first home match of the season against Nimes, unfurling banners telling the former Barcelona man to "fuck off".

Neymar hasn't played since hurting his foot against Qatar back in June, an injury that ruled him out of the Copa America.
