No surgery for Neymar: Coach Emery

Neymar still has a "little possibility" of playing against Real Madrid in the Champions League and there are no plans for a task on his split bone, Paris Saint-Germain mentor Unai Emery said on Tuesday.

"For Neymar there has been no choice to have an activity," said Emery, denying a prior report in the Brazilian press that the world's most costly player would go under the blade to settle the split bone in his foot.

"Neymar is the first to need to play each match, he's extremely focussed on Real. I believe there's a little shot that he'll be prepared for the match," included Emery.

PSG trail 3-1 from the last 16 first leg in Madrid two weeks back and the loss of Neymar would be a colossal hit to their odds of toppling that shortage at the Parc des Princes on March 6 and achieving the Champions League quarter-finals.

Neymar endured a broke metatarsal in his foot and a curved lower leg in a harmless looking episode against Marseille on Sunday night.

And keeping in mind that Spaniard Emery said there is a probability he'll recoup by one week from now, he was more critical than he had been on Sunday night.

"Today, subsequent to breaking down Neymar, it looks more improbable than it did on Sunday that he'll be prepared for this match," said Emery.

Nonetheless, he was clear in his expulsion of a report distributed by Brazilian media outlet Globo Esporte on Tuesday morning that asserted a choice had just been gone after Neymar to experience a task, and that he would be out until May.

"The previous evening (Monday) the club issued an official proclamation: it said how the player was therapeutically," included Emery.

"Things (like activities) aren't chosen that way," he included, clicking his fingers.

"You require talks with the specialist, the player, his company.

"To settle on such a vital choice you require peacefulness and a touch of tolerance.

"At the present time, I don't think you require whatever else. There's a great deal of data from outside, yet in all actuality what I let you know, which is the thing that the specialist let me know."

While PSG's essential concern is having the world's most costly player accessible for their Champions League coordinate one week from now, in Brazil it is Neymar's support at the World Cup that is generally imperative.

The 26-year-old captained Brazil to their first since forever Olympic gold award year and a half prior on home soil and is viewed as significant to their expectations in Russia in June and July.

Were he to experience and activity now and come back to wellness in May, that would suit Brazil, who could depend then on a completely fit and new Neymar for the World Cup.
