PARIS: An almost fit-again Neymar was expected to arrive in Paris from Rio on Friday (Saturday in Manila) some 40 days ahead of the World Cup finals in Russia, French daily L’Equipe reported.

Although the star was reported to be taking the Thursday flight out of Rio de Janeiro, arriving early Friday in Paris, there was no confirmation from his spokesman that he departed. Neymar was not spotted in the public areas of Rio’s Tom Jobim International Airport.
