Enrique "not concerned about Neymar's form"

Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique has insisted that he is "not concerned" by the recent displays produced by Neymar.

The Brazilian has scored 26 goals in 37 outings this season, but his form has tailed off in recent weeks to the point where he has found the net in just one of his last nine appearances.

However, Enrique has stressed that although the goals have not been flowing as freely as they once were, the 23-year-old has still made contributions to the team.

"I am not concerned about Neymar's form. We are talking about a top player. For what I see at training, I am sure that the goals will come again," he told reporters.

"At the moment he is helping the team, from a less spectacular point of view, but still bringing things."

Neymar is expected to keep his place in the starting lineup for tomorrow's clash against Almeria.
