BARCELONA’S STAR NEW recruit Brazilian international Neymar and defender Jordi Alba will both undergo surgery to remove their tonsils on Friday and they face a 10-day recovery, the Catalan club announced today.
The operations had been scheduled to take place after the Confederations Cup final in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, when Brazil crushed Spain 3-0 with the help of a sizzling left-footed goal by Neymar.
