Suspended Neymar will miss the game against Rayo Vallecano

Brazilian forward Neymar, a fixture in the plans of Luis Enrique, will miss the next FC Barcelona league game, against Rayo Vallecano next Sunday.

The attacker picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Granada, for a tackle on Granada defender Nyom. 

Neymar saw yellow against Eibar, Real Madrid, Real Sociedad and last week against Malaga during Barcelona's shocking Camp Nou defeat. 

By missing the game against Rayo next weekend, he will get a rest, which given his performances lately, may be a good thing.

Neymar will also be free to play in the Clasico on March 22; he was walking the suspension tightrope in the lead-up to the game but this suspension means he's not in danger of missing it.
