The number 10 is recovering from a rectus femoris muscle injury in his right thigh, diagnosed on September 19. Peixe has not set a return date.

This is Neymar’s third injury since he returned to Santos at the end of January. In total, he has played 21 matches, with six goals and three assists.

Without the star, therefore, Peixe faces Ceará this Sunday, away from home, for the 27th round of the Brasileirão. The match will take place at Arena Castelão, in Fortaleza (CE), starting at 8:30 pm (Brasília time).

Other absences

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will also be without Mayke against Vozão. The right-back will be rested due to muscle fatigue. Thus, Igor Vinícius will start.

Midfielder Victor Hugo, meanwhile, is recovering from a muscle injury. He is currently transitioning with physiotherapy. The former Flamengo player is not yet available for the trip to Fortaleza. The expectation is that he will be cleared for the derby against Corinthians on the 15th.

Standings

Santos is in 16th place in the Brasileirão, with 28 points, three more than Vitória, who are just above the relegation zone.
