Neymar has returned to training with Paris Saint-Germain for the first time since breaking his foot in January.

The Brazil international has been sidelined since breaking a metatarsal in PSG's Coupe de France win over Strasbourg in January.

Neymar missed the Ligue 1 leaders infamous Champions League elimination by Manchester United last month and has also been absent for much of the club's run-in as the close in on the league title.

But he has returned to the field undergoing a session that was overseen by fitness coach Ricardo Rosa.

The 27-year-old did work with and without the ball as he put through his paces.

He was later in the stands to watch as his teammates booked their place in the Coupe de France final with a 3-0 win over Nantes.

Marco Verratti, Kylian Mbappe and Dani Alves were all on the scoresheet.
