João Neves, 21, has not appeared in a match since the 2-2 draw against AS Monaco in the UEFA Champions League play-off second leg. The Portuguese international has been dealing with an ankle injury, but reports from Le Parisien suggest he could make his return for Paris Saint-Germain’s match against Chelsea at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.
According to Luis Enrique, PSG are “clearly struggling,” but Neves’ potential return could offer a much-needed boost as they prepare for this crucial UCL clash, particularly with Fabián Ruiz still sidelined due to a knee injury.

Le Parisien reports that while Neves is likely to be included in the matchday squad, his fitness for the game against Liam Rosenior’s team remains uncertain. The biggest question mark ahead of the Chelsea game is who will fill the third midfield position, as Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery are expected to start.
