João Neves មិនបានលេងចាប់តាំងពីការប្រកួតស្មើ 2-2 ជាមួយ AS Monaco នៅក្នុងជំនួបវគ្គជម្រុះទី ២ របស់ UEFA Champions League។ កីឡាករព័រទុយហ្គាល់បានប្រឈមមុខនឹងបញ្ហារបួសកជើង ប៉ុន្តាគេរំពឹងថានឹងត្រឡប់នៅពេល Paris Saint-Germain នឹងប្រឈមមុខជាមួយ Chelsea នៅពហុកីឡាដ្ឋាន Parc des Princes នៅយប់ថ្ងៃពុធ ខាងមុខ។

Paris Saint-Germain បានបរាជ័យយ៉ាងច្បាស់ ប្រសិនបើយោងតាមពាក្យសញ្ជីត Luis Enrique បើទោះបីជាការ​ត្រឡប់​របស់ João Neves អាចផ្តល់នូវឱកាសកើនឡើងមុនពេលជំនួបទីបំផុតសំខាន់នេះនៃពាន UCL។ ភាពខ្វះលើកីឡាករ Fabián Ruiz ព្រឹកផ្សង្គរចិត្តដែលមានបញ្ហាឈឺក្នុងសភាពបញ្ហាប្លុកនៅពេល​កាល​មុន។

João Neves has not featured since the 2-2 draw against AS Monaco in the UEFA Champions League play-off second-leg. The Portugal international has been struggling with an ankle injury, however, he is expected to return when Paris Saint-Germain face Chelsea at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night. PSG are "clearly struggling" in the words of Luis Enrique, but Neves’ return would provide a much-needed boost ahead of this crucial UCL tie, especially given Fabián Ruiz’s continued absence due to a knee injury.

Le Parisien reports that the Portuguese midfielder is at least expected to be included in the matchday squad, although there is no guarantee he will be fit to feature against Chelsea. The starting line-up’s third midfield position remains uncertain, with Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery almost guaranteed to start, but the question is who will join them.
