Neymar and Rony pick up third booking, miss Santos v Flamengo | OneFootball

Santos will have two important absences in the next round of the Brazilian Championship. Forward Rony and attacking midfielder Neymar received their third yellow card in Thursday’s match against Remo at Vila Belmiro and will miss Peixe’s game against Flamengo.

Neymar’s booking was controversial. In the 40th minute of the second half, the No. 10 was shoved in the back by Diego Hernández, got up quickly, and headed toward the Remo player to confront him. Match referee Savio Pereira Sampaio decided to show the star a yellow card, and he had already been one booking away from suspension.

After the final whistle, the player blasted the referee and said the card was “unfair”.

On the other hand, coach Cuca is expected to receive a boost for the match against the Rubro-Negro. Gabigol, the former forward of the Rio club, is in the physical recovery phase after suffering a muscle injury in his left leg and is hoping to be included in the squad again.
