Will the Brazilian be in the lineup to face Mineiro tonight?
Atletico Mineiro and Neymar’s Santos will face off in a crucial match during the regular season of Campeonato Brasileiro Série A at the majestic Arena MRV in Belo Horizonte.
Even though their close victory over Atletico Mineiro at home last round felt somewhat fortunate, Peixe are still ahead of Vitoria on goal differential. However, the club haven’t been better this season, despite their star player’s return to the team.
Despite the hype he received after joining the club, the 33-year-old has failed to inspire the team to wins so far, and injuries have also affected his impact at the club.

Will Neymar play tonight?
Yes, he will play tonight when Santos visit Atlético-MG. It will be his first game on artificial turf since his return to Brazil.
His capacity to maintain his fitness over extended periods of time has been one of the main worries in recent years. He has, however, provided resounding answers to those questions since returning to Santos.
The former FC Barcelona and PSG talisman has played in eight straight games, seeing each one through to the end. The club believe the narrative of persistent fragility is unjust because he hasn’t had that level of consistency in his career for a while.
Following Neymar’s exclusion from the September matches by Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti, Santos provided a conflicting update on the star’s condition.
The message was completely different back at his boyhood club. According to team physician Rodrigo Zogaib, the star is doing well physically and there are no serious issues.
The team actually maintains that they have been closely observing the 33-year-old’s fitness ever since he returned and that they think he is playing at a level that hasn’t been seen in years.
Will Neymar play tonight?
Yes, he will play tonight.
Is he injured?
There were doubts about his participation, but he is fit to play.
Where do the club stand in the league?
They are 16th in the league.
