After leaving Benfica, João Neves returns and fans go wild | OneFootball

João Neves is recovered and back in PSG's squad. The former Benfica player has finally ended the ordeal that lasted since the last international break and is now available to contribute to Luis Enrique. The news about the Portuguese international surely left the fans of the French giant ecstatic.

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 hadn't played for PSG for about a month, after suffering an injury that kept him off the pitch.

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 the entire Portuguese quartet 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.
