Barcelona coach Luis Enrique explained that Neymar was not dropped in Barcelona’s 4-0 defeat of Almería on Wednesday.

Enrique says that, Neymar, who has scored in just one of his last nine games for the club, was not dropped, but rested due to his international exertions with Brazil recently and to allow Pedro Rodríguez to get 90 rare minutes on the pitch. He said: “Neymar is the only one who did not rest with his national team. And we need Pedro to be in the best state possible.”
