Valverde offers update on Neymar, Coutinho situations
Speaking to the press after Barcelona's 2-1 win over Napoli in a pre-season game, Ernesto Valverde insisted that he is counting on Coutinho as the midfielder continues to be linked with a move away from the club.
On being quizzed about Coutinho's situation, Valverde said,
"Of course I am counting on him. We don't know what's going to happen, but he's with us.
"He didn't play today because, like Arthur [Melo] and [Arturo] Vidal, they've only had two training sessions. The plan is the same: to bring them in little by little [after the Copa America]. We will see if on Saturday he can play some minutes.
"The idea is the same with him as everyone else. We count on him, of course."
On being asked about Neymar, he said,
"The last time I came to this stadium, I had to answer a load of questions about Neymar,"
"Two years later, it's the same again; it's like it's following me. I don't know what's going to happen."
