Neymar set to attend French Cup final

Paris: Neymar will attend Tuesday´s French Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and minnows Les Herbiers, PSG captain Thiago Silva said.

"He is fully motivated but sad that he can´t train with us. He will be there to support us tomorrow at the Stade de France and I think he´ll be happy," Silva told reporters at a press conference on Monday ahead of the game.

Neymar returned to Paris on Friday to continue his recovery, two months after undergoing surgery on a broken bone in his foot in his native Brazil.

He is unlikely to play again for PSG this season, his focus now on being ready in time for Brazil´s World Cup bid in June and July.

Silva added: "Neymar is doing well. It´s clear he´s making progress. He´s already working in the gym."

PSG are overwhelming favourites to beat third-tier strugglers Les Herbiers in Tuesday´s game at the Stade de France, having already won the Ligue 1 title and the League Cup this season.

They were knocked out of the Champions League by Real Madrid in the last 16, shortly after Neymar suffered his injury in a game against Marseille.
