Neymar misses training, a doubt for Santos ahead of Internacional clash | OneFootball

Santos continues their preparations for the match against Internacional this Monday, at 9:00 PM (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio, for the Campeonato Brasileiro. However, Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s team may have a serious problem: attacking midfielder Neymar, who felt discomfort in his left knee against Mirassol, has become a doubt for the game in Porto Alegre.

The Gazeta Esportiva report found that Neymar did not train with the rest of the squad this Saturday, which increases the possibility of his absence in the match at Beira-Rio.

The information that Neymar is a doubt for Monday’s game was first reported by GE and later confirmed by Gazeta Esportiva.

What happened?

Last Wednesday, in the first half against Mirassol, Neymar felt pain in his left knee. Despite this, he continued playing normally. Concerned about not losing their main player again, Santos believes it is necessary to have him at 100% for the rest of the season. If he does not play against Inter, the star would have more time to recover from the discomfort.

Neymar has started three consecutive matches for Santos. In the team’s last game, he found the net and ended a three-month goal drought.
