João Neves ‘to miss’ PSG French Super Cup final v Lens | OneFootball

João Neves will miss the French Super Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and Lens on Sunday, with no official explanation from the club. Kick-off is at 19:45, and Lens are now home to former Benfica forward Franjo Ivanovic.

RMC Sport reports that the Portugal midfielder is being managed physically. Neves started PSG’s first competitive match of the season.

New signings Ferrán Torres and Mika Godts, both announced this week by the two-time European champions, will also sit out the game. Among the latest arrivals, only Lucas Digne and Maghnes Akliouche have been named in Luis Enrique’s squad.

PSG recently lifted the UEFA Super Cup, beating Aston Villa 2-1 in Salzburg to win the trophy for the second successive season.

Last season Neves made 37 competitive appearances for PSG, 21 in Ligue 1, 13 in the Champions League, one in the Intercontinental Cup, one in the Coupe de France and one in the French Super Cup. Across 2,612 minutes he recorded seven goals and four assists. He is valued at €140 million.
