Will Neymar play tonight for Santos vs Botafogo in Campeonato Paulista?

The Brazilian star is celebrating his 33rd birthday today.

Santos are in group B of the Campeonato Paulista and are top of the table with seven points. Santos ended a three-game losing streak with a victory in their most recent encounter. Despite being the underdog in the competition, they easily overcame São Paulo 3-1 at home. Guilherme, 29, is now leading the league in scoring with seven goals after scoring twice in that game.

The renowned Neymar’s return to Santos greatly increases the team’s prospects of having a successful season. Although the well-liked Brazilian player has not yet made his debut for his new team. Santos will surely look more threatening side in attack in the presence of Neymar in tonight’s game if the Brazilian makes his debut.

Neymar return to his boyhood club was met with plenty of jubilation as the forward wanted to play for Santos once again after his disastrous time at Al-Hilal where he made only even appearances due to his injury-ravaged time there and the Saudi club decided to get rid of him.

The forward was seen during the practice and will be ready to make his debut when Santos play tonight against Botafogo.

Will Neymar play tonight?

The Brazilian star trained with his new teammates this week and is expected to take the field this Wednesday against Botafogo-SP in the Campeonato Paulista.

Neymar will have to work on his fitness as the Brazilian is still at the peak of his playing career and will have to make the most of his time at the Santos, which will also help the former Barcelona star return to the national team for the World Cup qualifiers.

Fans are going to fill the stadium to catch a glimpse of their star player today if he makes his debut as the entire attention will be on one player tonight when he enters the pitch.
