Neymar and Rony pick up third yellow, 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 picked up their third yellow card in the match against Remo this Thursday 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 went toward the Remo player to confront him. Match referee Savio Pereira Sampaio decided to show the yellow card to the star, who was already 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 have a boost for the match against Rubro-Negro. Gabigol, the former striker of the Rio club, is in physical recovery after suffering a muscle injury in his left leg and could return to the squad list.

League standings

With the win over Remo, Santos ended a four-match winless streak and climbed to 12th place in the Brasileirão with 10 points. It was also the team’s first win under coach Cuca.
