Neymar Misses Start of Paris Saint-Germain Season

Reports in France have discussed a potential new crisis between Paris Saint-Germain and their Brazilian star Neymar ahead of the new season. The player, who missed extended periods at the end of last season due to injury, was supposed to return last week to the French capital to begin rehabilitation. "L'Équipe" stated: "The Brazilian did not return to Paris as scheduled for the start of the new season's preparations due to his ankle surgery in March." The report mentioned that the player received special permission from his club to remain in Brazil to resolve a legal issue regarding the construction of an artificial lake at his home, which almost led to his father's arrest. It was clarified that the player is undergoing training in his home country and has a specific regimen to maintain his physical fitness, but he is expected to attend before July 10, the start date of the team's official camp under new coach Luis Enrique.
