Just last week returning to training, Barcelona's forward Neymar will once again be unable to play.
Brazil missed Thursday's Catalan team training and will definitely miss Sunday's Spanish Primera League match against Elche.
The 22-year-old forward started training with all his teammates last Monday. Up until then, he was recovering from a back injury suffered in the World Cup.
"After Thursday's training, Neymar complained of pain in his left ankle, and tests showed that the footballer has a first-degree strain," the club's official website writes.
According to the announcement, it is not yet clear when Neymar will return to training and be able to take to the field again.
