Barcelona star Neymar has
anaemia but it is not a
concern for the club,
according to the Catalans'
sporting director Andoni
Zubizarreta. Recent tests have shown the
attacker has a low red blood cell
count.
The Brazilian, who joined
the Liga champions from
Santos for €57 million this
summer, was diagnosed with a low red blood cell
count - which can cause excessive levels of
tiredness in players - following routine blood tests.
But Zubizarreta has insisted the 21-year-old's
condition, which comes a month after the attacker
had his tonsils removed, is something the club will
manage and is not overly serious.
"We would have liked him to have been in perfect
condition, but not many players arrive perfect for
the pre-season," Zubizarreta said.
"We'll help make sure he's in the right condition.
It's not a concern.
"There are quite a few days left before the league
starts, although it is unlikely that he'll be 100 per
cent adapted [to Barcelona's style] by then.
"But we can clearly see that he's quickly getting a
grasp of our type of football."
Neymar made his Barcelona debut in a 2-2
friendly draw against Lechia Gdansk on Tuesday
before appearing off the bench in an 8-0 win over
Santos on Friday.
