Benfica academy star back from injury, could feature in next match | OneFootball

PSG announced today that they will have a major reinforcement. The Paris club revealed that João Neves, one of the most well-known names from Benfica's academy, has recovered from his injury. A month after being sidelined, the Portuguese international will play against Lorient.

The announcement was made this Wednesday, October 29, when the French champion revealed the names chosen by the Catalan coach for the trip to Lorient's ground. It is worth remembering that the Portuguese international had not played for PSG for about a month, after suffering an injury that kept him off the field.

During the period he was absent from the field, the former Benfica player, besides missing the Parisian matches, was also unable to contribute to the national team, where he was replaced by Nuno Tavares. It should be noted that the national team has not yet secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

Heading into the 10th round of Ligue 1, Luis Enrique called up the entire Portuguese squad for tonight's match against Lorient. Besides João Neves, the Catalan will count on former Benfica player Gonçalo Ramos, former Sporting player Nuno Mendes, and former Porto player Vitinha.

Since leaving Benfica, the midfielder has been one of the main figures of the French club. This season, João Neves - valued at 90 million euros - has played four matches in the Parisian jersey. In the 234 minutes he was on the field, PSG's number 87 scored three goals.
