Paris Saint-Germain suffered a coronavirus outbreak last week, with Neymar among three players reported to have tested positive for Covid-19, but the Brazilian has confirmed on Twitter that he is now free of the virus. His club face Marseille on Sunday and he could feature.

Neymar has tweeted that he is free of coronavirus ahead of Paris Saint-Germain's Le Classique showdown against arch rivals Olympique de Marseille.

The Champions League finalists confirmed last week that three of their players had tested positive for Covid-19, with the Brazilian among that number.

However, with a Classique clash against Marseille looming on Sunday, the world's most expensive player has taken to social media to confirm that he is now virus-free.
