The former French striker allowed himself to advise Brazilian star Neymar for the confrontation against Bayern.
PSG and Bayern meet in five days for the knockout stages of the Champions League. An important meeting that Neymar still hopes to play.
“Neymar must not force”
The Brazilian injured his ankle in the league game against Lille. He is supposed to remain immobilized for several weeks, but the person concerned does not want to give up. For the past few days, he has been doing everything possible to be on the attack during this second round against the Bavarians.
So, is Neymar right to want to force things? The question was put to Djibril Cissé on Thursday on the Chaine de L’Equipe. The one who has suffered two serious injuries throughout his career thinks the risk is not worth it.
“People don’t really have the question anymore (if his absence is detrimental) since it works without him. Mbappé and Messi do the job. Me, I’ll be him, I won’t take too many risks. I will be careful, because the ankle is fragile. But if he’s really ready, then why not. But you don’t have to force it. Let him fix up for the (possible) quarter-finals,” said “Djib”.
If Neymar is absent, it would certainly be a problematic defection for Paris. Note, however, that Bayern will not present themselves in full for this clash either. Benjamin Pavard (suspended) and Leroy Sané (injured) will give way to their teammates.
