Santos striker Neymar, having recovered from a muscle injury, will likely miss at least a month. The Brazilian damaged the back surface of the stitch in the match against Palmeiras, which ended without goals scored.

The club confirmed that the 34-year-old footballer has been relegated to the middle level of importance. Due to the injury, Neymar will not be able to take part in the upcoming matches of Santos, except for the quarterfinals of the American Cup with Atletico Mineiro.

According to ESPN Brasil, Santos does not plan to jeopardize the health of its leader. The club will allow Neymar to return to training only after a new update. It turns out that this can happen even after the next international pause.

In the 2026 season, Neymar played 24 matches for Santos, scoring 8 goals and providing 8 assists.
