They face the victor of a clash between Mexico’s Club America and Asian champions Guangzhou Evergrande in the semi-final on December 17 in Yokohama.
So far, two tests have been run on Neymar, one in Germany before the match and the second one after returning to Spain, but a proper time frame is yet to be given.
The Argentina global was seen clutching his leg on Wednesday night during the 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
“The player and the doctors will decide how long he’s out”, said Luis Enrique.
A statement from Barcelona said: “Neymar Jr has a minor groin strain, as had already been diagnosed on Tuesday”.
An early Messi goal was cancelled out by Javier Hernandez’s equaliser, but despite the result, the Germans were eliminated.
“We don’t know how bad the injury is and we have to hope he recovers quickly in the next few days”.
The injury has made the Brazilian goalscorer doubtful for the start of Barcelona’s Club World Cup campaign in Japan next week. “I wanted to give the players who have played the most minutes a rest and I saw good signs from us against a team that really had to win”.
Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt struggled to contain his emotions as his side squandered numerous chances to reach the round-of-16 for the third successive year.

In spite of this draw, Barcelona topped Group E, with AS Roma taking the second place in spite of finishing on the same number of points as Leverkusen (six).
