The German coach said it was up to Leonardo to sort out Neymar's situation so he can plan the team's future

PSG's head coach, Thomas Tuchel, is beginning to lose patience with the 'Neymar saga' which is hanging over the club.

After facing another barrage of questions about the Brazilian's future, Tuchel named Leonardo as the man who must sort the situation out as quickly as possible.

"The objective is this is over as quickly as possible," Tuchel said after his side's victory over Toulouse which came at a cost in terms of injuries. "Unfortunately it wasn't (resolved) today. I believe it's time for him to play."

Leonardo is the problem solver

“Leonardo already knows that I want these matters sorted out and that he stays. But it's down to him. The situation isn't very clear at the moment and we must solve it. It's always important that he plays," insisted Tuchel on not having Neymar available for selection.

"Will we see him against Metz? It isn't only my decision but, if it was, he would've played today."
