Neymar has addressed Santos supporters after their Copa Sudamericana elimination, striking a hopeful tone in the aftermath.

Santos went out on penalties to Atlético-MG at Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte on Wednesday. The player said in a post that the team have endured tougher moments, that falling matters less than getting back up, and that they will keep working because better days will arrive.

The forward is recovering from a right thigh injury and was not with the squad in Belo Horizonte.

The current timetable for his return is four to eight weeks. He has completed two weeks of recovery, so he is expected to feature again only in late October or early November.

Santos still have 12 fixtures remaining this season.
