MADRID: Neymar looks set to travel with the Barcelona squad for Sunday’s (Monday in Manila) El Clasico against Real Madrid as the Catalans continue to fight his suspension for the potentially title-deciding clash. “The club asks TAD to present a ruling and, unless it confirms the player’s ban, it grants the provisional suspension of the ban,” Barca said in a statement. “As a coach I am prepared to play with Neymar or without him,” said coach Luis Enrique on Saturday. Enrique says his last Clasico in charge is a must-win for the reigning La Liga champions. Madrid holds a three-point lead at the top with a game in hand on their rivals as they close in on a first La Liga title in five years.
