Galtier responded, “No, I think he is out against Bayern.” when asked if a Brazil international would play in Wednesday’s European match at a news conference. Galtier added his comments on the Brazilian’s absence:
“Over the next two games, we won’t have Ney available. Our block will be much more compact and denser as a result. With the absence of Ney, instead of having two midfielders, we will be with three midfielders and two attackers. To tell you that Ney’s absence is harmless, no. It’s quite a detrimental absence for us.”
