News has just come in that Neymar Jr is doubtful for Sunday’s opening game in La Liga against Elche. The Brazilian forward has sprained his left ankle in training this morning and first reports suggest he will need a couple of days rest at least. With Luis Suarez suspended and Pedro doubtful with gastroenteritis this leaves Luis Enrique with a serious lack of forwards. Leo Messi looks certain to play and he could be accompanied by Rafinha and Munir El-Haddadi who continues to train with the first team along with Sergi Samper and Sandro from Barça B.
