Barcelona Could still play in the Clasico

TAD: We will meet if Barcelona summon us urgently

Barcelona intend to play Neymar in El Clasico

Regardless of whether Neymar finally plays for Barcelona against Real Madrid or not, the Catalans are keeping everyone guessing by taking the Brazilian with them to Madrid.

It's worth noting that the Blaugrana consider him available to play in El Clasico, despite receiving a letter of warning from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) who set out the reasons why he is ineligible.

Confirmed sources at the club have told MARCA that Neymar will be part of the entourage that will land in the Spanish capital on Sunday morning but the same sources will not clarify if it's in a supporting or playing role.

Either way, Barcelona's peculiar interpretation of this particular area of law could turn out to be a masterstroke or hugely expensive, both in a financial and playing sense, to them.
