Emery: 'Neymar did not call after title win'

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery admits that Neymar has not called him since last weekend's 7-1 thrashing of second-placed Monaco clinched the Ligue 1 title.

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery has admitted that Neymar has not been in touch with him since before last weekend's Ligue 1 title triumph over Monaco.

The Parisians thrashed second-placed Monaco 7-1 last Sunday to get their hands on their seventh French crown.

Neymar, recovering from a foot injury, posted an Instagram picture showing him playing poker with the match on a screen in the background, prompting an angry response from former Barcelona and France star Christophe Dugarry.

Emery was asked by Cadena Cope radio if Neymar had called or messaged him since PSG's title-clinching victory on Sunday, and the manager said no.

"I spoke with Neymar two or three weeks ago to see how he was and what idea he had of joining the group in training," Emery said. "The players have a chat, so Neymar has direct communication with the players as well as the club and I.

"I have a very good relationship with Neymar. He is committed to the team, to Brazil and he is concerned about his recovery. Neymar is very eager to return and to play one game before the end of the season - that is what he told me when we chatted two weeks ago."

Neymar became the world's most expensive player when he joined PSG from Barca for £200m last summer but has regularly been linked with a return to Spain.
