This Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain (1st in Ligue 1) faces Chelsea (5th in the Premier League) at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League Round of 16 tie (second leg on March 17th). Kick-off is at 9 pm, CET. On Tuesday, Djamel announced the return of João Neves (21-year-old midfielder).
🔴🔵 No need to worry about João Neves: he will be in the squad to face Chelsea!
The Portuguese midfielder trained normally yesterday.”
Djamel is generally reliable regarding PSG’s attendance at training, so we can hope that Neves has indeed been training regularly since last week’s sessions. He was deemed a little short of match fitness for the game against Monaco on Friday, but with this extra time, a place in the squad tomorrow against Chelsea seems very likely. We can even consider a starting spot, although it’s not guaranteed.
