Neymar has been definitively ruled out of Sunday’s Clásico against Real Madrid in the Bernabéu after the Spanish Sports Tribunal (TAD) confirmed Barcelona had not lodged a final appeal against a three-game ban handed to the Brazilian forward after his sending off against Málaga.
The TAD said it had not received any communication from Barcelona seeking temporary stay on the ban pending appeal by 15:00 CET, the deadline for doing so. “No appeal of any kind has been presented and we have ended our meeting,” the TAD president Enrique Arnaldo told reporters. “Nobody has asked for an appeal to be studied.”
Barcelona claim they did send the paperwork and announced at 13:00 that the club was seeking to exhaust the final legal path to have Neymar’s ban provisionally suspended.
