Neymar aiming for August return

Barcelona forward Neymar has vowed to return to action for the Joan Gamper trophy in mid-August.

Mexican side Leon will be the opposition on August 18 and Neymar hopes to play in the game and be recovered from a fractured back suffered in Brazil’s World Cup win over Colombia.

“I’m slowly recovering from the injury. I’ll be 100% when I get to Barcelona,” Sport reports Neymar as saying from Japan, where he is attending a promotional event.

“I had a good season and I’m looking forward to helping my teammates get good results.

“I also want to contribute to the Brazil national team.”
