For His Comeback To Ligue 1, Neymar Regains His Fitness.

In front of tomorrow night’s match against Strasbourg, Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier gave a positive update on Neymar’s health at his news conference this afternoon.

Last Thursday, almost two weeks after his nation was eliminated from the World Cup in the quarterfinals, the Brazilian striker returned to the Camp des Loges training facility. He had sustained an ankle injury against Serbia in the first game, which prevented him from playing in the last two group stage games.

In comments obtained by RMC, Galtier said that his forward had spent time in Brazil surrounded by his own medical staff and that, upon his return to Paris last week, he had no trouble finishing the training session.

In addition to getting back to match shape, Neymar is reportedly ready to go ahead of a hectic end-of-year schedule, according to his manager: “From a mental aspect, he really wants to play, so that’s a positive indicator, it’s really nice.”
