With Neymar indoors, Santos begin preparations to face Remo | OneFootball

This Wednesday, after two days off, the Santos squad returned to CT Rei Pelé and began preparations to face Remo. Forward Neymar, who was not included in the squad for the clash with Cruzeiro, was rested from the on-field session and stayed only in the gym.

The No. 10, who has already missed 12 of Santos’ 17 matches this season, is still dealing with physical problems. Neymar ended last season with excellent numbers, helping Alvinegro Praiano avoid a second relegation, but after undergoing arthroscopy on his left knee in December, he still has not managed to play three consecutive matches, whether because of injury or being rested.

What about training?

Santos had almost its entire squad available. With the exception of Neymar, who was rested, and Vinícius Lira (left knee ACL), the entire Alvinegro Praiano squad trained.

Previously injured players Gabriel Bontempo (muscle contractures) and Zé Rafael (swelling in the right thigh) trained on the field without restrictions.

After the warm-up, coach Cuca led a technical and tactical session with an eye on Remo. The Santos squad returns to CT Rei Pelé on Thursday morning.

Santos’ situation in the Brasileirão

After drawing with Cruzeiro, Santos reached seven points and climbed out of the relegation zone. Alvinegro Praiano is in 16th place, one point ahead of Botafogo, who sit 17th.
