Baku, July 10 (AZERTAC). After sustaining a World Cup ending back injury against Colombia, Neymar has been ruled out of action for over a month, leaving Barcelona doctors to fly to Brazil to check on the extent of the injury for themselves.

Due to the length of the injury, however, Barcelona will be receiving monetary compensation for Neymar’s salary, which has become an established principle by FIFA for players injured in international competition.

Once a player has been injured for over 28 days due to an international competition, FIFA is required to pay part of the player’s club salary. Thus, on August 2, FIFA will begin paying Barcelona a fee of €13,972 per day until Neymar returns from his back injury.

It is believed that Neymar could miss around six weeks of action at this point, but Barcelona will benefit from the FIFA regulations, such as they did when the club received monetary compensation when Victor Valdes was injured in international competition last season.
