hamstring problem that prevented him from training with the
rest of his team-mates on Friday.
Defender Gerard Pique is also out of the game through
suspension, while Jordi Alba and Rafinha are still injured.
However, coach Luis Enrique did confirm Lionel Messi had
shrugged off a hamstring problem of his own to play and he
is named in the 18-man party for the game.
Neymar, who came third in the 2015 Ballon d'Or, has only
missed two league matches this season and has scored 16
times in 17 top-flight appearances.
Barca go into the match two points adrift of leaders Atletico
Madrid with a game in hand and, with Diego Simeone's men
not playing Sevilla until Sunday, victory would put them top
of the table.
