Tuchel will not make Neymar PSG captain


The Ligue 1 champions plan to appeal against their star's three-match ban, but their head coach says the club must accept the Brazilian's "mistake"
 
Thomas Tuchel has ruled out Neymar becoming Paris Saint-Germain's next captain and says the club must accept the superstar forward's suspension for striking an opposition supporter.
The French Football Federation announced on Friday that Neymar must serve a three-match ban following his altercation with a Renne's fan after last month's Coupe de France defeat.
PSG have launched an appeal against the decision, but Tuchel believes the punishment is fair and urged the Brazil international to put his leadership qualities to better use on the field.
