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

The former FC Barcelona forward missed the game against Bahia.

Santos enter this match with a lot to prove. After their crushing 6-0 loss to Vasco da Gama, which left supporters calling for a reaction, they lost to Bahia 2-0. It was another devastating defeat.

Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s team has displayed flashes of excellence during the season. They have only managed 21 points and remain 15th in the league.

While Argentine winger Álvaro Barreal continues to be one of the team’s brighter spots, with five goals from fifteen games, Neymar, who returned to Brazil for a second stint with his boyhood club, has provided three goals in ten appearances.

With an average of 1.3 goals per game and three victories in their past seven games, the Peixe have demonstrated that their attack can be successful when given room to operate. With three goals this season, Guilherme Augusto has also proven to be a valuable danger from midfield, giving the team another tool as he attempts to regain his confidence.

Santos will try to turn pressure into points against a team with defensive weaknesses. They also have the home advantage.

Will Neymar play tonight?

Neymar will be eligible for the Peixe when they play Fluminense in the Brasileirão. As the team attempts to escape the relegation zone, the former Barcelona star’s return will be a huge help. He missed the team’s most recent match against Bahia, which ended in a 2-0 loss.

Last week, the forward just worked in the gym and missed both sessions since he was in pain even when he walked before their game against Bahia. However, the 33-year-old trained with the team on Friday morning at CT Rei Pelé after completing exercises and a separate physical transition workout on Thursday.
