NEYMARS BRAZIL SUMMER COMMITMENT YET TO BE DECIDED SAYS LUIS ENRIQUE

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique admits that a final resolution is yet to be made concerning his Brazilian superstar summer commitments with his national team.Brazil is looking forward to see their star players participate in`both the Copa America and Olympic Games this summer.
"I am not worried about [the summer], just about the next game," the Barca boss said. "I will talk to Dunga about what to do, not just with Neymar but also with Rafinha and Dani Alves."
Neymar has expressed a willingness to play in both tournaments, but Barca are not obliged to release players for the Olympics, where only three players above the age of 23 can play in each squad.
Brazil boss Dunga has said that he would prefer Neymar to play at the Olympics, which take place on home soil, than the Copa America in the United States if he is forced to choose between the two.
Luis Enrique continued: "We will talk about it, with dialogue, as we all want the best for our players."
Neymar will be available for Barca's game against Getafe, having arrived back in Catalonia after attending his sister's birthday party and also doing some high-profile charity work in Brazil last week.
"He was suspended for the game, he asked for permission," Luis Enrique said. "I agreed as he had played a lot of minutes. That is what I am here for as coach."
The Barca boss says he has confident that the team's physical preparation will stand the team in good stead as they chase down what would be a historic second successive Treble.
