Barcelona promote Inaki Pena after Neto setback

Inaki Pena is set for promotion at Barcelona.

The third-string goalkeeper is stepping up after Neto suffered a wrist fracture in training.

The Brazilian, signed this summer from Valencia, faces five weeks on the sidelines due to the injury.

Mundo Deportivo says Barca won't seek to sign short-term cover and instead will promote 20 year-old Pena from the B team.

Pena will step up to cover No1 Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
