Neymar is back in Barcelona after two week Christmas break in Brazil
After time with family and friends, the Brazil international could be back in action in Bilbao this week
Neymar has returned to Barcelona. The Brazilian star arrived back in the city on Monday morning ahead of his return to training in the afternoon with his teammates.
The Barca forward became the first member of the MSN trident to return from his winter break in South America. He's spent the last two weeks in Brazil with his family and friends, taking a break from the daily demands of professional football.
On Monday afternoon he will be back in training with the Blaugrana. Luis Enrique expects to have everyone in ahead of Thursday's Copa del Rey first leg game against Athletic Club at San Mames.
It remains to be seen if Luis Enrique will play Neymar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez in Bilbao. The rest of the squad returned to training on Dec. 30 and none of the South American forward have yet featured in the cup.
Neymar, who returned to Barcelona on a private plane, was recognised at El Prat airport by several fans and posed for photographs.
