Neymar suffered another ankle injury at the weekend but Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique isn’t concerned about the Brazilian forward.

The 22-year-old scored in the 5-0 rout over Levante on Sunday to continue his encouraging start to the new season.

However, he was forced off in the second period but Enrique doesn’t believe it will be too serious an injury.

FIFA quoted Enrique, he said: “Neymar suffered a sprained ankle recently and therefore we decided to take him off.

“The doctors will analyse it. It is normal when the player sprains his ankle he gets a fright and asks for the change.

“We hope it won’t be anything important but there was nothing strange in the substitution.”
