Neymar can handle the pressure against Espanyol, says Luis Enrique

Luis Enrique has confirmed Neymar is ready to take on Espanyol after serving a three-match ban for his sending off against Malaga.

The Brazilian has missed the games against Real Sociedad, Real Madrid and Osasuna but will feature on Saturday with Lucho insisting Neymar can be trusted to keep his temper.

"Neymar is ready to compete," he told a pre-match press conference.

"He is a specialist at dealing with these types of situation.

"If there's a player that receives the most fouls it's Neymar, and I think he can control these situations perfectly.
