Neymar back for Barcelona's match vs. Cordoba

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Brazil striker Neymar has recovered from a sore left ankle and is back on Barcelona's squad for its Spanish league match against Cordoba on Saturday.

Neymar had missed Barcelona's last two games— the first being a 0-0 draw at Getafe— due to pain in his ankle.

Barcelona trails leader Real Madrid by four points before hosting Cordoba, which is in 19th place in the 20-team league.

Neymar has scored 14 goals in 18 appearances for Barcelona this season.
