Neymar was missing from Paris Saint-Germain's squad list for the Coupe de France clash with Dijon as he recovers from a rib injury.
Neymar will be absent when Paris Saint-Germain tackle Dijon in the Coupe de France on Wednesday.
No Neymar for PSG cup clash
That confirmation came on the morning of the quarter-final fixture as PSG named their travelling squad, with Neymar staying behind in Paris as he continues to recover from a rib injury.
The Brazil striker was checked by coach Thomas Tuchel in training after Tuesday's media conference, when it was made clear PSG would take no risks with the former Barcelona player.
"Neymar is injured, we have to be patient and careful with him," said Tuchel.
Neymar has missed PSG's 2-1 win at Nantes and 4-2 victory over Lyon since suffering his injury against Montpellier on February 1.
He returned to training last Friday, but the last thing PSG would want is for Neymar to aggravate the problem, given they return to Champions League action at Borussia Dortmund next Tuesday.
PSG squad
GK: Rico, Navas, Franchi
DF: Kurzawa, Kehrer, Kouassi, Meunier, Bakker, Thiago Silva
MF: Draxler, Gueye, Sarabia, Herrera, Aouchiche
FW: Cavani, Di Maria, Icardi, Mbappe, Choupo-Moting

maybe if u did then u may understand how and why psg destroyed him.. its not so much about his childish behavior. but its more about psg fans and staff who always hated him like every time he is on the pitch he has to go through something being thrown on him and abuses and all even the president os psg behaved wrong and if u think childish behavior is the problem then fyi the same guy won youth cup against the same team (Germany) who destroyed brazil by 7 -1. and how can the whole staff and fans be so rude to someone who has gone through injurires which was actually not diving and had to go through rape allegations which everyone knows he won't do.
he forced a transfer from barca to psg, got to psg and started playing football as of he was forced and was asking for a transfer back after his quality had dropped. The club was not ready to let him go at lesser price then he went to insta and posted a video of a writing on the wall talking about how he was being held against his will at psg.

You're right, but we don't need a party against Dijon. We need a party against Dortmund. It's always disappointing when Neymar doesn't play because he is such a talent and entertainer, but I understand if he is not 100%.

Maybe it's a wrong decision for him to play against Montpellier. He got injured which causes the absence for the following low risk games . How to keep fit for Neymar without playing on the field? Just for a Champions League game, PSG.
