Luis Enrique: Neymar fit to face Atletico Madrid

The Brazilian will not be rested against Diego Simeone's side, despite picking up a knock to his foot during the midweek Copa del Rey victory.

Barcelona coach Luis Enrique says Neymar is set to start the top-of-the-table clash with Atletico Madrid on Saturday despite suffering a minor foot injury on Wednesday.

The Brazilian was on the receiving end of some physical treatment from Athletic Bilbao as Barca moved into the Copa del Rey semifinals with a 3-1 second leg victory at Camp Nou.

In the process of scoring Barca's third, Neymar received a kick from Mikel San Jose that prompted fears of an absence from the home match against second-placed Atleti in La Liga.
