Boost for Palmeiras: Gabigol and Neymar doubts for Santos | OneFootball

Flamengo will be rooting against Palmeiras next weekend and is counting on Santos’ help

Midweek is reserved for Conmebol tournament matches, but Flamengo hopes to close the gap on Palmeiras at the top of the Brasileirão on Sunday (03). To do that, the Rubro-Negro must beat Vasco, and Abel Ferreira’s team needs to drop points against Santos. However, the Vila Belmiro side could be missing key players.

– I don’t know if I’ll have Neymar or Gabigol available because of what you already know they think about synthetic turf. We’ll talk to them. Of course, if they can play, we’ll be stronger – said Santos coach Cuca after a 1-1 draw with San Lorenzo (ARG) this Tuesday (28) in the Copa Sudamericana.

Neymar and Gabigol have already taken part in campaigns against synthetic turf in the Brazilian Championship. The former Flamengo player had no problem playing on the plastic surface while wearing the Sacred Jersey and used to ‘punish’ Palmeiras at Allianz Parque.

WHEN WILL PALMEIRAS VS SANTOS BE?

With Gabigol and Neymar doubtful, Santos will visit Palmeiras next Saturday (02), at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for the 14th round of the Brasileirão. The São Paulo capital club leads the Brasileirão with 32 points. Meanwhile, Mengão, which has a game in hand, has 26.

Flamengo returns to the field in the Brasileirão on Sunday (03), at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), against Vasco da Gama. The match at the Maracanã will have full coverage from Coluna do Fla on the website, social media, and YouTube. So stay tuned to our platforms.
