Neymar Misses Talking to Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez During International Break

Neymar has further emphasised the strength of the friendship between himself and Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez by joking that he's missing them during the international break.

The three South Americans are currently away on international duty, with Neymar's Brazil set to take on Suarez's Uruguay on Friday.

The trio are rarely seen apart during their time in Barcelona, and Neymar used his pre-match press conference (via ESPN FC) to joke that he's missing the other members of the world's most feared strike force:

"

It's true, we are messaging via WhatsApp these days. In Barcelona we said we would miss telling each other all the little things that happen in the day—even in the warm-ups. We are used to being together and we have a great friendship. Not just with him but also with Messi. In order to win on the field, we put up a fight. But now we won't be playing together, none of that.

"

Friday's reunion may provide some solace for the Brazilian, despite the unfamiliar scenario of lining up for the match on the opposing side to his friend Suarez.
