Is Neymar playing today? Check Santos’ likely line-up against Bahia | OneFootball

Starting at 4pm (Brasília time), Santos will face Bahia at the Arena Fonte Nova for the 21st round of the Série A of the Brasileirão. The match will have a very special observer: Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the Brazilian National Team.

The teams enter the field at completely different moments in the season. While Bahia has 33 points and wants to establish itself in fourth place, Santos, with 21, wants to distance itself from the Z4. However, for this Sunday's (24) match, Peixe will have a major absence.

The match will be Santos' first challenge after the dismissal of Cléber Xavier after the 6-0 thrashing by Vasco. Assistant coach, Matheus Bachi will take over at Fonte Nova. This is because, Vojvoda, former Fortaleza and new Peixe coach, has not yet been regularized.

Is Neymar playing today?

For this Sunday's (24) match against Bahia, Santos will not be able to count on the presence of Neymar. This is because the number 10 took the third yellow card and will serve a suspension in the match at Arena Fonte Nova.

In addition, the star also suffered a thigh edema during last week's training and should miss more Santos games. He will also be absent due to the injury from Carlo Ancelotti's list, who will call up the Brazilian National Team next Monday (25).
