Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier has provided a reassuring update on the fitness of Neymar in his press conference this afternoon, ...

He had picked up an ankle injury in the opening game against Serbia, which saw him missing the last two group stage matches. His words reported by RMC, Galtier indicated that his forward had spent time in Brazil surrounded by his own medical team, and that when he returned to Paris last week he was able to complete the training session without any issues. The Brazilian forward returned to the Camp des Loges training ground last Thursday, nearly two weeks after his country were knocked out of the World Cup at the quarter-final stage.

Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, Marquinhos, and Achraf Hakimi return post-World Cup.

"We will need to approach our games with a lot of professionalism and ambition; this is like the start of a new season for us. Expect a few goals for Galtier's men and for Stephan's troops to try to keep things respectable so that morale does not take too big a hit. However, it is up to us to think about what will be the right time for them to rest and to decompress in the next few weeks. This should be an easy win for the hosts even if there is a bit of rust after a month or so out of action. Strasbourg: A disastrous season so far does not look like it will get much better given that two of three friendlies were canceled and the one that was played was a defeat to Feyenoord. Without a win since early October, RCSA are unlikely to pick up points here and will be targeting a run of three home games post-PSG to start turning their season around. PSG: Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, captain Marquinhos, and Achraf Hakimi have already reported back for training after the World Cup and are in Galtier's squad for this one. That means that in the meantime, he was able to receive treatment. "There is some excitement because we have not played a league game in six weeks, and we do not know what other teams will look like tactically or physically," said Galtier of the visitors. As long as they are doing well physically and mentally, there is no reason for us to go without them for the next two league games, which will be very important.

They've spent large periods chasing without the ball and you can tell. Paris Saint-Germain SUBSTITUTION - PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN PENALTY PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN GOAL - PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN YELLOW CARD - PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN

Kylian Mbappe scored a 96th-minute penalty as Paris Saint-Germain snatched a 2-1 win over struggling Strasbourg after Neymar was sent off for diving.

29' MASSIVE CHANCE - That was a glorious chance for Strasbourg and Kevin Gameiro. The free kick came from a needless foul from Bellegarde, Strasbourg will be very frustrated to concede in this manner. The 24-year-old was a real source of creativity for Strasbourg when they had the ball, playing four key passes and taking 74 touches. Not every match is going to be pretty, but the ability to win games without being at your best is the true hallmark of a top side. Strasbourg held firm and it looked like they were on the cusp of earning a well deserved point. Neymar was growing increasingly frustrated and in a period of just two minutes he was sent off.
