Brasil national team head coach, Luiz Felipe Scolari has crticized Barcelona over their treatment of Neymar and believes the Spanish champions are responsible for the attacker's recent health problems.

The 21-year-old Brazilian superstar was diagnosed with anaemia earlier this month after undergoing surgery to have his tonsils removed in July and Scolari has slammed the catalan club for advising the forward to go under the knife and for the way they have managed him since his arrival from Santos.

Scolari said at a press conference: "It’s unacceptable that Neymar now has anaemia,"

"He was with Barcelona before the Confederations Cup and he was perfectly fine. At the moment it’s clear he’s not the same, though, because he underwent surgery.

"It seems it was that lot [Barcelona], who know everything, who think they are always right.

"It was always obvious Neymar was going to lose weight after the surgery."

Neymar joined Barcelona in a €57 million (£48m) deal from Santos in June and has reportedly lost up to seven kilograms since his operation.
