Barca's Neymar faces lengthy layoff
Barcelona coach Luis Enrique is concerned Neymar may be set for a lengthy layoff after the Brazilian superstar injured his groin before their final Champions League group match.
The defending champions were already through to the Champions League's last 16 for the 12th year in succession and ended their group campaign on Wednesday with a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen.
Enrique's main concern was Neymar's adductor injury in the final training session in Germany on Tuesday.
The 23-year-old has been in sensational form this season, scoring 16 goals in 18 appearances and crowned La Liga's player of the month for November on the day of his injury.
"It's an unpleasant situation and we have to wait to see what the team doctor says," said Enrique on Neymar's injury.
"We don't know how bad the injury is and we have to hope he recovers quickly in the next few days.
"It's always unpleasant to lose a player through an injury, possibly long term, and we have to hope it's not as bad as feared."
Enrique named a mainly second-string team at the BayArena by including only four first-choice players in Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ivan Rakitic, Jordi Alba and captain Lionel Messi.
An early Messi goal was cancelled out by Javier Hernandez's equaliser, but despite the result, the Germans were eliminated.
With Roma drawing 0-0 at home to BATE Borisov, Leverkusen had to beat Barcelona to progress but the Germans blew their chance and instead will find themselves in the Europa League next February.
