It looks like Neymar might not miss Sunday's El Clasico after all. The Brazilian striker, suspended three matches for his behavior after receiving a red card in the April 8 loss at Malaga, could play as Barcelona takes an appeal case to Spain's Court of Arbitration for Sport, according to ESPNFC.
After losing its first appeal, Barca is taking the case to the court on Saturday to try and delay the start of the ban, which could see the ban suspended until a decision is made, allowing him to play on Sunday, where second-place Barcelona looks to match first-place Real Madrid in the standings with a win.
Barca is holding out the slightest bit of hope that Neymar will play, which is a huge upgrade over the player likely to replace him in starting lineup - Paco Alcacer.
We should find out on Saturday if Neymar can play or not, and if he does, Barca has a much better chance of getting three points in Madrid.
