With Neymar starting, Santos line-up set to face Novorizontino | OneFootball

Santos is set for its first knockout match of the 2026 season. The team led by Juan Pablo Vojvoda will face Novorizontino shortly, at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), in a quarterfinal match of the Campeonato Paulista, at Estádio Doutor Jorge Ismael de Biasi.

The main news in Santos' lineup is the forward Neymar. The star is starting a match for the first time in 2026, after recovering from a knee arthroscopy.

With the return of the star, Santos has no absences for the first time this season, allowing Vojvoda to field his strongest lineup against Novorizontino.

Therefore, Santos will take the field with: Gabriel Brazão; Escobar, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, and Igor Vinícius; William Arão, Gabriel Menino, and Neymar; Rony, Barreal, and Gabigol.

And what about Novorizontino?

On the other side, coach Enderson Moreira is coming with full strength, repeating Novorizontino's standard lineup from the first phase of the Paulistão.

Thus, the team from Novo Horizonte will go with: Jordi; Alvariño, Patrick, Dantas, and Mayk; Léo Naldi, Luís Oyama, Tavinho, Titi Ortiz, and Rômulo; Robson.
