The 28-year-old has missed PSG’s last three league games due to injury but he has revealed that he was able to be involved.
‘It was not my choice not to play the last matches. I wanted to play, I felt good,’ he said.
‘The club was afraid and it is I who suffer from it.’
Neymar, whose 2019-20 campaign has been hindered by injuries, has scored 16 goals and provided 10 assists in 19 appearances.
PSG are next in action on Sunday night when they welcome Bordeaux in the league.
