PSG can cope without Neymar, insists Tuchel

Thomas Tuchel retains faith that his Paris Saint-Germain squad can handle the absence of Neymar, despite slipping to their first defeat of the Ligue 1 campaign on Sunday.

Neymar will miss the next two months due to another metatarsal injury sustained in last month's Coupe de France victory over Strasbourg.

PSG had won their first game without the Brazil international – against Rennes – but they came up short against Lyon, losing 2-1 to Bruno Genesio's side.
