Luis Enrique eases Barcelona concerns over possible Neymar injury

Luis Enrique has eased Barcelona supporters' fears over a potential injury to Neymar.

The Brazilian was substituted for Sandro after 50 minutes when he went down in a heap on the edge of the pitch.

It looked like his ankle may have rolled over and the Barca coach took him off as a precaution. 

Neymar appeared in great pain on the sidelines but Enrique implied that there was not a serious problem. 

"He hurt the ankle he had injured previously, so we decided to take him off," the coach explained after the game.

Neymar had opened the scoring, reaching the end of an exquisite Lionel Messi through-ball, rounding the keeper and firing home.
