The Brazilian picked up a second yellow card late in Sunday's 2-2 draw between the bitter rivals for reacting to a foul by Lucas Ocampos. "He is going through the process of adapting to the league, the team, the referees, but he is intelligent. He is also aware that he must learn from what happened on Sunday," said Emery ahead of Friday's Ligue 1 meeting with Nice.

Neymar will be automatically suspended for that game at the Parc des Princes. "He was sought out more aggressively by the opposition, and it is important that referees know how to handle matches where these situations occur on the field," Emery added.
