Barcelona says Brazil striker Neymar has anemia but won't stop preseason training
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Barcelona says that Brazil striker Neymar has developed anemia, but that it won't stop his preseason training with the Spanish champion.
Anemia is a lower than normal count of red blood cells that causes fatigue or weakness.
The team says that "due to an operation on his tonsils this summer the player is suffering a case of anemia that is being treated and won't impede him from training with normality with the rest of his teammates."

The 21-year-old Neymar joined Barcelona from Brazilian club Santos this offseason.
