Emery: I'm not a doctor but Neymar is sick Champions League - PSG vs Real Madrid He wants team to build form ahead of Champions League tie

Paris Saint-Germain face Marseille with concerns over Neymar's fitness and Unai Emery admitted on Friday that despite not being a doctor, he could see that the Brazilian was sick.

There shouldn't really be a real domestic challenge to the Parisian club this season, however the former Sevilla coach will be keen for his side to build form ahead of the return leg against Real Madrid.

"I'm not a doctor, the club doctor simply told me that Neymar is sick," he explained in his pre-match press conference.

"Neymar is sick, I hope that he will be well enough to train on Saturday and then play on Sunday.

"It wasn't an injury issue, it was gastroenteritis and some fever, similar to what Lass Diarra had yesterday."

Marseille arrive at the Parc des Princes on Sunday with PSG very strong at home.

"When we play at home, I'm always calm," he admitted.

"I always prefer to play at home.

"The players feel something special when they are in the Parc des Princes."

In the first fixture between the two domestic rivals this season, Neymar was shown a red card after being cautioned twice, the Spanish coach has made clear that there will be no such repeat on Sunday.

"He is intelligent and has learned from both individual and collective experiences," he confirmed.

"He won't make the same mistakes.

"Neymar will be very prepared to play a great game."
