TAMPA, Fla. — Tim Weah is just 18. He’s the son of a legendary figure—George Weah, former world player of the year, current president of Liberia—and he’s training every day with Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Edinson Cavani at Paris Saint-Germain. He scored a goal in PSG’s first league game of the season and ended up on the cover of L’Equipe the next day.
But that doesn’t mean everything has been easy lately for Weah. He hasn’t played in a PSG first-team game since August 18. Some observers have questioned his decision not to go out on loan from the start of the season.
