Neymar not leaving PSG without a replacement - Tuchel

The German coach talked up the importance of keeping the wantaway star at the club following Sunday's upset result

Thomas Tuchel has admitted Paris Saint-Germain missed Neymar in their shock defeat to Rennes and ruled out an exit for the Brazil international unless an adequate replacement is brought in.

Neymar's prolonged absence from the PSG squad continued on Sunday as the Ligue 1 champions fell to a 2-1 loss at Rennes in their first away outing of the new campaign.

The 27-year-old attacker has been recovering from an ankle injury that has ruled him out of action since early June, while questions remain over his future amid strong links with former club Barcelona and Real Madrid.
