Neymar will head back to Barcelona sooner than planned

Neymar, the star of Brazil's national team, will not be able to play against Venezuela in their next game

Neymar is ready to pack his bags and head home to Barcelona from the Brazil camp. Not because of the brutal elbow smash which forced him off against Bolivia in Brazil's 5-0 win, but because he was booked in the game and is now suspended for the next clash, against Venezuela. 

Neymar was involved in a scrap with Bolivia's Pedro Azoque. Referee Wilson Lamouroux booked both men and that should mean he travels back to Barcelona soon. 

Luis Enrique will be pleased, with the star then available to train in the build up to the clashes with Deportivo de la Coruna and after that, Manchester City in the Champions League. Neymar's booking also ensures he will be able to play Messi's Argentina in Brazil's next game after Venezuela.
