In the 33rd round of the Brazilian League, Santos played away against Flamengo. According to ESPN reports, Neymar did not travel to Rio de Janeiro with the team on Friday, but arrived on Saturday. He stayed in Sao Paulo for muscle strengthening training.
Santos coach Juan Vajdavo is expected to play Neymar for 45 minutes.
After being sidelined due to injury from September 15 to October 31, Neymar returned against Fortaleza earlier this month and helped the team draw 1-1 with their opponent. Later, in the game against Palmeiras, Neymar was not selected into the lineup due to the artificial turf at Palmeiras' home court.
Santos, currently ranked 17th with 33 points, urgently needs a victory to get out of the relegation zone. However, this round will be a tough battle for them. Flamengo, ranked second with 65 points, also regarded this game as a real "final".
