😳 Neymar on preliminary list but left out for Mirassol v Santos | OneFootball

Neymar was included in the preliminary list of the Brazilian National Team for the friendlies against France and Croatia.

He was supposed to be observed in person this Tuesday (10), the date when Santos will visit Mirassol.

However, the number 10 of Peixe was not listed for the match at Maião.

Information from journalist Lucas Musetti.

Subsequently, Santos confirmed:

“The attacking midfielder Neymar Júnior trained normally on the morning of this Monday (9). Following load management programming, the athlete will not be available to coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda for the Santos FC match against Mirassol, this Tuesday (10).

Intensifying muscle work, Neymar Jr will train normally this Tuesday (10) with the unlisted athletes, at CT Rei Pelé. The attacking midfielder will be available for the classic against Corinthians, next Sunday (15), at Vila Belmiro.”

The idea is for him to be fit to face the mentioned Corinthians, also in the Brasileirão.

The game will take place at Vila Belmiro and will be held one day before the call-up for the friendlies.

Neymar returned to play on February 15. He came off the bench in the match against Velo Clube and then started against Novorizontino and Vasco.

He scored two goals (both against Vasco) and contributed with an assist.

Brazil will face France on the 26th, in Boston, and Croatia on the 31st, in Orlando.

These will be the only matches before the final call-up for the World Cup.
