PSG released a statement addressing their stance after Neymar missed their training session on Monday without permission.

"On Monday 8 July, Neymar da Silva Santos Junior was due to return to pre-season activities with the Paris Saint-Germain senior squad. Paris Saint-Germain notes that Neymar Jr was not in attendance at the agreed time and place. This was without the club's prior authorisation. The club regrets this situation and will therefore take appropriate action," said the club.

Neymar's camp insists that they were given extra days off after the player was injured before the Copa America tournament.

Neymar has been the target of frequent rumors of a potential return to Barcelona.
