Neymar trains fully, should return for Santos against Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Neymar trained without limitations on Thursday and should return for Santos against Atlético-MG this weekend. Santos began preparations with a reduced session at CT Rei Pelé.

According to Diario Do Peixe, only players who did not travel to Ecuador took part, with the rest given recovery time after arriving back in Brazil.

The squad returned following defeat to Deportivo Cuenca in their Copa Sudamericana opener and faced a draining journey. The charter left Cuenca, stopped in Guayaquil for refuelling and immigration, then landed at Viracopos in Campinas late in the morning.

Those who featured in Ecuador stayed with the physiotherapy staff, while the others trained. Gabigol worked without restrictions and should be another option, with Miguelito and Rincón also involved.

Gabriel Menino and Mayke remained under medical care and did not go on the pitch. The full squad is due to reassemble on Friday for a final session before facing Atlético-MG at Vila Belmiro on Saturday at 20:00 Brasília time in the Campeonato Brasileiro.
