Neymar joins training as Santos hold double sessions during the FIFA break | OneFootball

With three of the four new signings, the Santos squad trained in two sessions this Thursday. The training sessions were led by coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda and his coaching staff. Neymar appeared on the pitch during the afternoon session.

Wearing protection on his left thigh, Neymar returned to the field and participated in the afternoon training this Thursday alongside the squad at CT Rei Pelé. The star had only stayed indoors during the last Wednesday’s return to training.

The new Santos signings, forward Lautaro Díaz, defender Adonis Frías, and midfielder Victor Hugo also trained as normal alongside their teammates.

Defender Alexis Duarte, meanwhile, is on duty with the Paraguayan national team and should report to Santos after the FIFA international break. The same goes for midfielder Tomás Rincón, who was called up to play for Venezuela in the Qualifiers.

The Santos squad will train again on Friday afternoon at CT Rei Pelé. The Peixe players will have about 11 days to prepare for the match against Atlético-MG, valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.

For this match, Vojvoda will not have Rollheiser, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Meanwhile, Neymar is doubtful due to the synthetic pitch at Arena MRV. The ball rolls on September 14, at 4pm (Brasília time).

Santos remains threatened by relegation in the Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegro Praiano has not won in three rounds and is in 16th place, with 22 points – the same as Vitória, who are just above the relegation zone.
