Souza misses Santos’ penultimate training before Paulistão debut | OneFootball

Santos is close to making its debut in the 2026 Campeonato Paulista. This Thursday, the Alvinegro squad held its penultimate training session at CT Rei Pelé before facing Novorizontino.

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda conducted a tactical training session. Left-back Souza, who is in negotiations with Tottenham, spent the afternoon only in the gym.

Neymar is another player who is still not training on the field. The attacking midfielder is undergoing physiotherapy after having arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to treat a medial meniscus injury. He does not yet have a set date to return.

Vojvoda is also unlikely to have Barreal available for the first round of the Paulistão. The club has not yet received the necessary documents to register the attacking midfielder with the BID.

The Santos squad will return to training this Thursday. The debut in the Paulista is scheduled for Saturday at 4 p.m. (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro.
