Neymar left out of Paris Saint-Germain squad again amid speculation over future

Neymar has been left out of the Paris Saint-Germain squad again ahead of their Ligue 1 clash with Rennes on Sunday.

The Brazilian forward's future continues to be a topic of fierce speculation, with both Barcelona and Real Madrid understood to be interested in taking him back to Spain.

Neymar has made no secret of his desire to leave the Parc des Princes this summer, leading to public criticism of the player by members of the PSG hierarchy.

Manager Thomas Tuchel has now left the world's most expensive player out of his squad for a second successive league game, suggesting that the injury that kept him out of the Copa America has not yet fully healed.

"He won't be with us," Tuchel told reporters in his pre-match press conference.

Neymar has scored 51 goals in 58 games during two injury-hit seasons in the French capital.
