The forward has three goals in the league this season.
Tonight, Santos and Fluminense will square off in round 12 of the Brasileirão Serie A at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira, marking their return to league action.
Moises scored the crucial goal three minutes after the hour mark in Santos’ 1-0 victory over Atletico Mineiro in their most recent Brasileirao match last Sunday, giving them a boost going into the weekend.
With 13 points from their 11 games, Peixe moved up to 15th place in the league rankings, relieving some of the pressure. They are currently only a few points above the relegation zone.
Neymar, a seasoned forward who has contributed directly to 83% of Peixe’s goals in five of his six games this season, continues to be Santos’ primary offensive danger. Since returning to the team, he has amassed 14 goals and six assists in 33 games.
With Neymar, Gabigol, Moises, and Rony giving head coach Cuca attacking options, Santos‘ assault is almost at full strength going into tonight’s fixture.
Will Neymar play tonight?
Yes, he is expected to be in the lineup tonight as Santos will look to avoid another relegation-threatened season after winning just three games in 11 matches so far in the campaign.
Meanwhile, Neymar hasn’t been at his full peak fitness. The medical staff has not exerted pressure on him to play every match and instead manage his minutes on the pitch to avoid any injury.
However, the forward has continued to be a difference maker. He will hope to guide the team to a win tonight as Santos seek to further climb up the table.
Will Neymar play tonight?
Yes, he was pictured training ahead of the game.
Where will the match be played?
At Estádio Urbano Caldeirão in Vila Belmiro.
