PSG forward Neymar Jr was spotted in training on Monday giving his team a much needed boost ahead of their Champions League clash against Real Madrid on Tuesday.
The Brazilian has been out of action for Les Parisiens since late last year having been sidelined with an ankle injury.
However, Neymar seems to have recovered just in time for the Champions League clash against Real Madrid in what is set to be his first appearance of 2022.
Neymar last featured for PSG in his side’s 3-1 win against St-Etienne in December, a game which he had a goal disallowed. Since then he has missed 13 games for the club in all competitions.
The Ligue 1 giants haven’t done too bad without their star player though as they have remained unbeaten in all but one of those matches.
PSG suffered their only defeat without him when they were knocked out by fellow Ligue 1 side Nice in the Coupe de France quarter finals.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side were knocked out via penalties after a goalless draw in the French capital.
