​Neymar and Barcelona lose fraud appeal

Neymar, Barcelona and Santos will stand trial on fraud and corruption charges after their appeals were turned down by Spain's high court on Monday.

The charges relate to the player's £48.6m transfer to Barcelona from Santos in the summer of 2013.

Neymar's mother Nadine Goncalves and the family company N&N also had their appeals rejected, and they cannot appeal against the high court's decision.
