PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino spoke to the media ahead of his team's trip to Lille on Sunday night. The Argentine was hopeful that Brazilian striker Neymar Jr. will be fit for the Champions League round of 16 clash with Real Madrid on February 15.

"His evolution is favorable, we are satisfied. Next week will be decisive for him, to see if he will be able to be with us," said Pochettino at a press conference.

PSG, eliminated in the last 16 of the Coupe de France by Nice on penalties on Monday, will be hoping to kick-start a positive dynamic against the reigning French champions, with an eye on the clash against Real Madrid.
