Will Neymar play tonight for Santos vs Bahia in Brazilian Serie A 2025?

The Peixe will hope to bounce back from their tragic 6-0 defeat in their last league game.

Santos will return to action following the aftermath of a 6-0 crushing defeat to Vasco da Gama, which escalated into fans barging the club’s training facility and confronting the players.

The Peixe have endured one of the worst returns in the Brazilian first-tier league, winning only six games in 19 matches this season. It has put the club in danger of relegation again.

Their 6-0 loss in the last game resulted in the club sacking their manager Cléber Xavier, which underlined the growing pressure on the team to churn out wins if they are to avoid relegation.

Moreover, Neymar’s return to the club has barely helped in eking out wins, as the Brazilian forward was left in tears when they suffered the 6-0 defeat.

Now the club will hope to forget their devastating defeat when they face Bahia, as they hope to secure a win in this game. The club will once again depend on their star player, Neymar, who will be eager to steer his side to a much-needed victory.

Will Neymar play tonight?

Neymar has oedema in his thighs. During training on Thursday, the No. 10 reportedly experienced pain. The problem was verified by tests.

The star may have been ruled out for the game as a result. Neymar has not lived up to the hype after arriving. Playing all ninety minutes in seven straight games has been his finest run in three years.

Despite the Brazilian’s physical progress, Santos have been forced into a relegation dogfight. With the supporters now against the team, his fantasy homecoming has turned into a nightmare that is unlikely to end anytime soon.
