Barcelona coach Luis Enrique said the amount of time Neymar
spends sidelined with a groin injury depends on the player
himself.
Neymar sustained the problem in training prior to Barca's 1-1
draw at Bayer Leverkusen in their final Champions League
Group E fixture on Wednesday.
The Brazil international forward's father has already said his
son will recover in time to feature at the Club World Cup, with
Barca scheduled to play in the semi-finals on December 17.
However, Luis Enrique did not put a timeframe on Neymar's
return after Lionel Messi's opener was cancelled out by Javier
Hernandez in the first half at the BayArena.
"Any injury, whoever is the player involved, is always
disappointing news for everyone here," Luis Enrique told
reporters.
"Now we have to wait and see how he responds, what the
doctors say in Barcelona and what the diagnosis is.
"After that we'll wait to see him back as with any other injured
player, and hope he recovers well sooner or later. That depends
on how he deals with it and what the doctors say."
Ballon d'Or finalist Neymar has scored 16 goals in 18 matches
in all competitions this season.
