Vojvoda leads second training session, Neymar still a doubt for Santos | OneFootball

Santos continued their preparations to face Fluminense next Sunday at Vila Belmiro, in a match valid for the 22nd round of the Brazilian Championship. At CT Rei Pelé, Juan Pablo Vojvoda led his second training session with the squad on Wednesday, aiming to adjust the team after the 2-0 defeat to Bahia last weekend.

The main doubt remains Neymar. According to Gazeta Esportiva, the number 10, who was suspended in Salvador, experienced discomfort in his thigh at the end of last week.

Although the club remains silent about the situation, behind-the-scenes information suggests it is not an injury, but rather muscle overload. Therefore, the forward has spent the last few days only in treatment, and the expectation is that he will undergo tests between Thursday and Friday to assess his playing conditions.

The tendency, therefore, is that he will be included against Fluminense, although there is no guarantee of a starting position.

Guilherme, once again, trained with the group. The forward, who missed the trip to Salvador due to emotional issues after the invasion of CT Rei Pelé, participated in activities without restrictions. Defender João Basso and midfielder Willian Arão are also being monitored by the technical staff, already in the final phase of physical transition.

The Santos squad will continue their training routine until the eve of the match. Currently in 15th place, with 21 points, Peixe needs a good result to move away from the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Fluminense is in ninth place, with 27 points. The match is scheduled for Sunday at 4 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro.
