Neymar continues home gym work as Santos squad rest after training match | OneFootball

Neymar kept his fitness work going at home on Sunday, using his personal gym in Santos despite the first team being given a day off.

According to Diario Do Peixe, manager Cuca cancelled a planned Sunday session after a training match against the under-20s on Saturday, and the squad are due to report back on Monday.

On Saturday at CT Rei Pelé, the forward scored a penalty and supplied an assist in a 4-1 win for the first team, later saying the run-out was important for rebuilding match sharpness.

On the rest day he continued individual conditioning, working in the gym at his residence under the supervision of fitness coach Ricardo Rosa.

He missed the draw with Cruzeiro in the eighth round of the Brasileiro for load management, and is likely to return to the starting side against Remo on Thursday at Vila Belmiro.

Neymar is following a specific recovery plan with his workload monitored, aiming to be in good condition for Brazil’s final World Cup call-up, to be announced by Carlo Ancelotti on 18 May.
