Neymar is anticipated to miss one of Santos’ crucial matches in 2025.
The star forward is dealing with knee discomfort and was absent from Saturday’s (22nd) training session.
Consequently, he is likely to sit out the Internacional vs. Santos game on Monday (24th) at 9 PM, hosted at Beira-Rio, as part of the 35th round.

Neymar experienced pain during the 1-1 draw against Mirassol but managed to stay on the pitch until the final whistle.
The player will undergo a re-evaluation to provide more insight into his condition.
While the issue is not deemed serious, the pain has intensified and is expected to keep him from participating in this vital match.
Santos currently sits in 16th place with 37 points, while Inter holds 15th with 40 points. Vitória, the first team in the relegation zone, has 36 points.
In essence, failing to secure a win could see Santos drop into the relegation zone by the end of the round.
