Neymar returns to Barcelona training

Brazilian forward Neymar returns to first-team training with Barcelona.

Barcelona are expected to have Brazilian forward Neymar fit and available for the start of their La Liga campaign later this month.

The 22-year-old suffered a serious back injury while representing his country at this summer's World Cup, with initial reports claiming that he would be out of action until the start of 2015.

However, the attacker returned to training for his Spanish club earlier this afternoon and is expected to be ready to face Elche on August 24.

Neymar's international teammate Dani Alves, in addition to Argentina pair Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano also returned to Barcelona training on Tuesday.
