Neymar will miss Barcelona's game with Athletic Bilbao this weekend and won't return to Spain until after the international break at the beginning of September, according to multiple reports in the Spanish media.
After scoring the winning penalty against Germany to secure an Olympic Gold medal for Brazil on Saturday, the 24-year-old had been expected back in training for his club side on Wednesday.
However, both Sport and Mundo Deportivo claim Luis Enrique has given the forward permission to
remain in Brazil until September.
Barca's second league game of the new campaign against Athletic on Sunday is followed by the first round of international fixtures of the season.
Brazil will play World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Colombia during that time and Neymar would join up with his country next week.
