Neymar trains indoors as Santos rest him from on-pitch ball work | OneFootball

Neymar worked indoors and sat out ball work as Santos trained on Wednesday afternoon at CT Rei Pelé. The No 10 did gym-based exercises rather than joining the group on the pitch.

According to Diario Do Peixe, he spent the session inside the training centre alongside right-back Mayke, who is recovering from a knee issue. Neymar, rested for the club’s last match against Cruzeiro, was in at the training ground for a second day this week after bringing forward his return before the squad’s official reporting date.

Meanwhile, Gabigol took a full part in the field session after a recent procedure on his pubis, training with the ball without restriction in line with the coaching staff’s plan.

Cuca led the workout with assistant Eudes Pedro present, as the squad focused on technical and tactical drills.

Santos are back in on Thursday morning at CT Rei Pelé, continuing preparations to face Remo at Vila Belmiro on 2 April at 19:00 in the Campeonato Brasileiro.
