Barcelona to send Benfica's Keirrison back to Brazil

Barcelona may send Keirrison back to Brazil in January.

Keirrison arrived in August from Palmeiras before being immediately sent away on-loan to Benfica for the new season. However, the young striker has struggled to settle in Lisbon and there are concerns his development is stalling.

It's now being considered by Barca technical staff that the best solution would be for Keirrison to return to Brazil, regain his confidence before trying again in Europe next season.
