The world’s most expensive player sat out the defeat on penalties to Inter Milan in Macao on Saturday.

He will also miss the French Champions Trophy against Rennes in Shenzhen next Saturday as he completes a six-match domestic ban for an incident involving a fan the last time the teams met, in the French Cup final.

If Neymar, who has made clear he wants to return to Barcelona, is still at the Parc des Princes he could feature in the club’s Ligue 1 opener on August 11 against Nimes.
