Paris St Germain forward Neymar’s return from injury is on schedule after he was ruled out for four weeks earlier this month with an adductor muscle injury, coach Mauricio Pochettino said on Friday. The Brazil international has been sidelined since limping off the pitch on Feb. 10 in a French Cup game against Caen, which ruled him out of PSG’s Champions League last-16 first leg against Barcelona. He resumed individual training on Thursday, raising hopes that he might be back earlier than expected. “He has been following the protocol of the medical and performance sector,” Pochettino told a news conference ahead of PSG’s Ligue 1 trip to Dijon. PSG trail leaders Lille by four points and second-placed Olympique Lyonnais by one.
