Neymar is hoping to be fit for the Club World Cup final after injuring himself in training on Tuesday.

The Brazilian, who limped out of training in Germany ahead of Barcelona's Champions League clash with Bayer Leverkusen, is already ruled out for most of the tournament in Japan.

But he is hoping to be back for the final after straining a muscle in an unfortunate incident involving strike partner Luis Suarez .

Neymar, 23, performed a 'sombrero', flicking the ball over his back and then over the Uruguayan forward's head. As Suarez looked to try and beat Neymar to the ball, the Ballon d'Or finalist overstretched in a bid to avoid the leg of the former Liverpool striker and sustained some soft tissue damage, according to SPORT.

As per the video below, it's not the first time Neymar has humiliated opponents with the trick.

Nonetheless, the news is bad luck for Barca, but they will still fancy their chances of progressing through the competition without their number 11.

They face the winner of a clash between Mexico's Club America and Asian champions Guangzhou Evergrande in the semi-final on December 17 in Yokohama.

Should they win that clash, then River Plate are favourites to await them in the final on December 20, with latest medical reports suggesting Neymar has a chance of featuring.
