Lyon ended PSG's unbeaten run in Ligue 1

Thomas Tuchel retains faith that his Paris Saint-Germain squad can handle the absence of Neymar, despite slipping to their first defeat of the Ligue 1 campaign on Sunday. Neymar will miss the next two months due to another metatarsal injury.

PSG had won their first game without the Brazil international – against Rennes – but they came up short against Olympique Lyon, losing 2-1 to Bruno Genesio's side. Ángel Di María had given PSG an early lead at the Groupama Stadium, but Moussa Dembélé and Nabil Fekir turned the game back in Lyon's favour, ending PSG's unbeaten run at 20 league matches.

While disappointed, PSG head coach found some positives and is confident his squad can cope without Neymar, particularly as the Champions League nears a return. "It's clear that we do not have a second Neymar or a second Verratti, but I have full confidence in the other players," he said.
