With Neymar? Santos name squad for 1st decider against Palmeiras | OneFootball

Santos have officially announced the squad list for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarter-finals.

And Neymar will be an option against Palmeiras this Wednesday (25).

The No. 10’s presence among the players available was in doubt because of the synthetic pitch at Nubank Parque.

Neymar has been included in the squad, but his place in the starting lineup is not guaranteed.

Santos have another derby ahead, against Corinthians on Sunday (30).

That match — which will also be away from home — is considered the priority because of the team’s situation in the Brasileirão.

The trend is for the No. 10 to play fewer minutes against Palmeiras so he can start in the league clash. 

The return leg against Palmeiras will be next Wednesday (2), at Vila Belmiro. 

Besides Neymar, the other notable inclusion is Lucas Veríssimo.

He was injured against Remo on August 1 and had been sidelined ever since.

Santos’ center-back pairing had become Arão and Luan Peres.
