News from the camp is that Messi has looked incredibly fit in training since he returned to Barcelona a few days earlier than expected, while the same can’t be said for Neymar.
According to Marca, Luis Enrique and his assistants have described Messi as being “built like a bull,” while Neymar is reportedly far from ready for the new season.
The Spanish giants play in the Super Cup on August 11, and it’s believed that although Messi has missed most of pre-season – he will start the game.
Neymar, on the other hand, is likely to miss the start of Barcelona’s season, with reports from Spain suggesting that the Brazilian may have enjoyed his extended leave a bit too much.
