Without Neymar, Santos return to training and gear up to host Sport | OneFootball

The Santos squad returned to the CT Rei Pelé this Tuesday. The players came back from Porto Alegre in the morning and trained in the afternoon.

The athletes who played for more than 45 minutes in the 1-1 draw with Internacional on Monday night only did a recovery session. The rest took to the field under the watchful eyes of coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda.

Important Doubt

The coach is unsure if he will be able to count on Neymar for the next match. Absent in the clash with Inter, the attacking midfielder underwent knee examinations this afternoon in São Paulo. The medical department will talk to the 33-year-old player this Wednesday.

Santos is preparing to face Sport for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship. The game will be on Friday at 9:30 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro.

The Peixe is in 17th place in the tournament, with 38 points, one less than Vitória, the first team outside the relegation zone.
