Once a player has received injuries and has been ruled to be not able to play for more than 28 days, FIFA is required to pay part of the player's salary with his football club. This means that starting on August 2, FIFA will begin paying Barcelona €13,972 per day in fees until Neymar returns from his back injury to play for his club, according to a report by Inside Spanish Football.
