“Neymar is suffering from an ankle injury and will be absent from the game as a precaution,” Barca said in a statement on their website. The Brazilian is looking physically stronger and sharper in his second season at the Nou Camp.

He has scored 11 goals in La Liga and netted a spectacular strike from distance as Barca beat Paris St Germain to finish top of their Champions League group on Wednesday.
