Neymar ruled out of PSG’s French Cup game against Lille

<p>PARIS &mdash; Neymar will miss Paris Saint-Germain’s match against Lille in the French Cup on Wednesday while he continues to recover from a left thigh injury.</p>
<p>PSG said Neymar is back in training, but coach Mauricio Pochettino does not want to take any risks with the Brazil striker, who has been sidelined for more than a month because of the injury.</p>
<p>Neymar could return by the end of the week in a crucial league match against third-place Lyon. In a very tight race for the league title, Lille moved three points clear at the top of the standings last weekend when second-place PSG lost at home against Nantes.</p>
<p>PSG will also be without the injured Juan Bernat and Pablo Sarabia for the cup game.</p>
