Barcelona goalkeeper Neto set to miss five weeks with wrist injury

Bad news for Barcelona as new goalkeeper Neto has suffered a bone bruise on his left wrist during the last training session of the United States tour, the club announced on Sunday.

While the club’s statement doesn’t confirm the extent of the injury or the timetable for recovery, both SPORT and Mundo Deportivo say the Brazilian will be out for five weeks, which isn’t the worst news since there wouldn’t be any games in that period for Neto to play anyway, and he should be fit again after the first international break of the season in early September.
