Santos did not have Neymar at the activities held at the CT Rei Pelé Stadium on Monday afternoon (01). The star ended up being excused from training so as not to strain his left knee, and he performed exercises inside the complex.
The player suffers from an injury to the meniscus of the knee, but he must return to the field to face Juventude, next Wednesday (03), in a decisive confrontation for the team in the Brazilian League. In the last match, Neymar played nearly 90 minutes, scoring a goal and providing an assist in the win over Sport.
Striker Tequinho Soares was another casualty in the team. Although the tests did not reveal any injury, the player still complained of pain in the back of his left knee and underwent treatment within a CT scan.
On the pitch, Vojvoda led tactical and technical training, focusing on the match in Caxias do Sul. Outside the relegation zone, Santos sees the match against Juventude as the deciding factor. With 41 points, Pixie needs to maintain its advantage over Internacional in order to rely only on itself to avoid relegation.
