Santos open probe into Neymar training clash with Robinho’s son | OneFootball

Santos have opened an internal investigation into an altercation between Neymar and Robinho’s son during Sunday’s training session. The club confirmed the probe on Monday.

An internal inquiry was launched immediately after the incident, with details of what happened not disclosed by the club.

According to Globo Esporte, lawyers for Robinho Junior, an 18-year-old forward, have notified Santos they could terminate his contract if no action is taken.

Robinho Junior alleges Neymar insulted and slapped him during the confrontation.

Despite recurring fitness issues, Neymar, 34, still hopes to be called by coach Carlos Ancelotti for the World Cup from 11 June to 19 July. He has not played for Brazil since October 2023.

The Seleção’s record scorer with 79 goals, two more than Pelé, will learn his fate when the final list is published on 18 May.

Robinho, 42, a former team-mate of Neymar at Santos, is currently jailed in Brazil after being convicted in Italy of gang rape.
