Neymar continues recovery from back injury

Neymar’s recovery from the back injury he suffered at the World Cup is continuing apace as the Barcelona forward takes a holiday with girlfriend Bruna Marquezine in Spain.

The couple are relaxing on the beaches of Formantera as Neymar – complete with back support – completes his rehabilitation.

Neymar was ruled out of his country’s dismal final two matches at their home tournament after injuring his back in the quarter-final against Colombia.

His side went on to be humiliated 7-1 against eventual champions Germany before limping to a 3-0 defeat in the third-place play-off against Holland.

Neymar will link up with new striker Luis Suarez at Barcelona, with the Spanish media reporting that he’ll form a partnership with the Uruguayan, with talisman Lionel Messi playing in the No 10 role.

The forward signed for Barcelona last summer, where he went on to score nine goals in 26 La Liga appearances.
