Neymar participated in Santos' training session this Sunday. The attacking midfielder returned to the pitch after spending three days doing indoor activities at the CT Rei Pelé.

The number 10 trained normally with the rest of the squad and is expected to start against Mirassol next Tuesday. During the period without matches, the star took the opportunity to manage his workload and strengthen his muscles in the gym.
