The Argentina forward was withdrawn in the first half with what looked like a serious injury, before the in-form Uruguay striker took the game away from the visitors
Luis Suarez's double helped Barcelona to a 2-1 win over Las Palmas in Saturday's La Liga encounter at Camp Nou as Lionel Messi limped off with a knee injury.
The home side were dealt an early blow when Messi was forced to leave the pitch in the 10th minute, however Suarez gave them reasons to celebrate midway thought the half when he headed home a cross from Sergi Roberto.
Las Palmas looked dangerous a number of times via former Barcelona B striker Sergio Araujo, but the Argentine was unfortunate not to add his name to the scoresheet.
And Suarez made it two after the break following some fine work from Munir, before Neymar blasted a penalty over the crossbar.
Jonathan Viera's deflected effort put Barca under late pressure, but they held firm to provide a good response to Wednesday's 4-1 hammering at Celta Vigo.
