The Brazil international had only just been given the
green light to return to action by the Catalan club's
medical staff, after recovering from the back injury
he picked up at the World Cup, but is now facing
another spell on the sidelines.
"Following the Thursday training session Neymar
Jr. complained about some pain in his left ankle,
and tests have confirmed that the player has
a Grade 1 ankle sprain.
"The Club's medical team has indicated that his
return to training will depend on how the injury
treatment evolves.
"It’s worth recalling that, last Monday, Neymar Jr.
received his medical discharge from the back injury
that he suffered during the World Cup in Brazil, and
was able to take part in the Joan Gamper Trophy
match on the same day."
Neymar made 26 La Liga appearances last season,
scoring nine times in the process, but his campaign
was plagued by fitness problems.
