Barcelona back-up Neto sprains ankle in training

Barcelona have announced that back-up goalkeeper Neto has suffered a sprained ankle in training and will be out for a little while.

Early reports suggest the Brazilian will miss the next two to three weeks which means we could see Inaki Pena on the bench against Real Valladolid on April 5.

Neto saw plenty of game time at the start of the season, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen was out after having knee surgery, but has hardly featured since the German returned.
