Neymar set for PSG presentation, but he will play no part against Amiens

The reason behind PSG's rush to push through the Neymar deal is a simple one, the player did not want to miss the first gameweek of the new season.

however, La Liga complicated matters by refusing to accept the payment of the player's release clause, causing the Brazilian to pay it directly to Barcelona but it was already too late. It was already well past 17:00, making Neymar ineligible for PSG's season opener againt Amiens on Friday night.

FIFA regulations prevent a player from making his debut for a new club until 48 hours after the deal is made official, meaning that Neymar will have to watch his new team-mates from the stands on Friday.

Before that though, the player will be presented to the crowd, giving PSG fans a chance to see their new star in the flesh.
