Vojvoda sees Neymar recovering quickly at Santos and celebrates | OneFootball

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda is excited about Neymar’s recovery. The Argentine provided an update on the attacking midfielder’s condition this Saturday, after Santos’ 2-1 victory over Novorizontino in the first round of the Campeonato Paulista.

“He’s doing well. I’m happy. I see him happy. The other day I mentioned that he was sweating a lot when I went to watch his training session at the gym. He’s preparing well, he’s strong. That’s what I want. All of Brazil is waiting for Neymar. I want him for Santos. We’ll take it day by day. He’s progressing at a good pace. When he’s ready, he’ll be the first to raise his hand and say he’s ready,” he said.

The attacking midfielder does not have a set date to return to play. In December, he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee to treat a medial meniscus injury. At the moment, he is working with the physiotherapy team at CT Rei Pelé.

Neymar finished last season as Santos’ second top scorer, with 11 goals and four assists in 28 matches, 23 of them as a starter. The star also reached the milestone of 150 goals for Peixe and is very close to entering the top ten scorers in the club’s history.

This Saturday, the attacking midfielder was at Vila Belmiro to watch Santos’ season opener. He watched the victory from one of the boxes, but also visited the locker room.
