Neymar raises concerns
Neymar’s absence from Santos training has sparked concern in Brazil, especially after he also missed the recent draw against Bahia.
The forward is once again under the spotlight due to his physical condition, in a season already affected by injuries and inconsistent availability.
A viral infection behind the absence
According to local reports, including Globo Esporte, Neymar’s absence is due to a viral infection that kept him out of recent activities.
The club confirmed that the player showed symptoms, received medication, and responded well, while continuing to be monitored by the medical staff.
Could still play in Sudamericana
Despite the initial alarm, the situation does not appear to be serious. Neymar is expected to be available for the upcoming match against San Lorenzo in the Copa Sudamericana.
This update has eased concerns, although his condition remains under close observation.
The World Cup remains the goal
Looking ahead, Neymar’s main objective is to return to the Brazil national team ahead of the next World Cup.
In a context filled with uncertainty about his form and fitness, every absence draws attention. And even if this time it’s not an injury, the alarms are already on.
