Neymar not feeling pressure

Barcelona forward Neymar does not believe that the absence of Lionel Messi puts more pressure on his shoulders.

Barcelona forward Neymar has insisted that he does not "feel more pressure" following Lionel Messi's recent injury.

The Brazilian is widely expected to take on Messi's position in the Barca XI following the Argentine's recent hamstring injury. However, the 21-year-old is remaining calm about the situation.

"I don't particularly feel more pressure by the absence of Messi. I hope he recovers as soon as possible and returns to help the team," he told BeIN Sport.

The attacker, who joined the Spanish champions from Santos in the summer, is expected to play a leading role for Brazil in the World Cup next year.
