The Brazilian star missed the previous game for an unknown reason.
Tonight, San Lorenzo will host Santos at the Nuevo Gasometro for a pivotal Copa Sudamericana match. As the competition starts to take shape, both teams are aiming to top Group D.
The visitors are under increasing pressure following a challenging start to their continental campaign, while the hosts are in excellent form and hoping to solidify their position at the top of the group.
Santos, on the other hand, comes to Buenos Aires in a far more vulnerable position. With just one point from their first two games, they are already at the bottom of the group.
The Brazilian team had little room for error in the remaining games after losing to Deportivo Cuenca to start the season and then being held to a 1-1 draw by Recoleta.
Although Cuca’s team has occasionally displayed offensive prowess, they have frequently failed to convert opportunities or keep control when in winning positions, a flaw that has cost them significant points.
However, after being rested especially for this match, there is hope that a rejuvenated Neymar could make a difference. The forward is anticipated to be a key component of Santos’ offensive strategy.
Will Neymar play tonight?
Whether Neymar will play is the most important question of the day. The Brazilian team became concerned when the Peixe idol missed the most recent training sessions due to a viral ailment.
However, the forward was spotted in the team’s training session prior to the fixture, and we can expect him to play tonight, barring any last-minute injury or illness.
It has been reported that Santos are not allowing Neymar to play every game so that he doesn’t encounter any injury relapse, as Neymar hopes to make the World Cup squad in May.
