Neymar WILL make PSG return against Strasbourg tomorrow after summer-long Barcelona transfer saga
NEYMAR is braced to make his first appearance of the season following his failed switch to Barcelona.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward has been left out in each of their opening four league matches this season while his future remained in the headlines.
The world’s most expensive player was desperate to seal a move back to the Nou Camp.
But the Brazilian was forced to put differences with his club aside after the two sides failed to agree a financial package.
Now manager Thomas Tuchel is ready to integrate him back into the starting XI as they prepare to face Racing Strasbourg on Saturday.
The absence of Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe could also further tempt the manager to start him from the off.
Speaking of Neymar’s transfer saga, Tuchel said: “I am very happy to start over and with the market closed.
“Things are clear and we have very talented players like Neymar.
“He is with us without any distraction and is concentrating without other things in his head. You need to play again. He is a PSG player and has trained well. He is ready to play.”

Neymar will need to win over PSG supporters after they made their feelings towards him well known.
Last month they sang he was “a son of a b****” and was told to “f*** off” in their Ligue 1 opener against Nimes.
Tuchel added: “I can’t control how the fans will react.
“But the more you talk about something the more it becomes a big thing.”
