Santos arrive in Belém for decisive Copa do Brasil tie with Remo, Neymar to join Tuesday | OneFootball

Santos have arrived in Belém for Tuesday's decisive Copa do Brasil tie against Remo at the Mangueirão, with kick-off at 21:30 Brasília time.

According to Globo.com, the squad landed on Monday evening without Neymar, who stayed in São Paulo for a personal commitment. He is expected to arrive around 13:00 on Tuesday.

His absence related to a charity auction for his institute in Praia Grande, an invite-only event held annually in São Paulo. He has been named in the squad.

Supporters gathered outside the team hotel to welcome the players.

Defender Lucas Veríssimo and right-back Igor Vinicius were not included because of muscle problems, the former with a right calf injury and the latter with lower back pain.

Those in Belém include the goalkeepers Gabriel Brazão, João Paulo and Diógenes, full-backs Gabriel Menino and Escobar, and centre-backs João Ananias, Luan Peres and Adonis Frías. The midfielders are Christian Oliva, Barreal, Gabriel Bontempo, Rollheiser, Willian Arão, Miguelito, João Schmidt and Samuel Pierri, and the forwards are Gabigol, Rony, Robinho Jr., Thaciano, Caballero, Davizinho and Nadson.
