Neymar out for three to four weeks due to ankle injury
Medical tests conducted on Friday morning have shown that the Brazilian striker has sprained his right ankle. He is expected to be out of action for three to four weeks. The Brazilian was injured fortuitously in the 22nd minute of Thursday night’s Copa del Rey second leg against Getafe, a game Barça won with two goals by Messi. Neymar will therefore miss for certain the next three league games against Levante, Malaga and Valencia, as well as the cup quarter finals also against Levante.
