Neymar Advances in Recovery and Gears Up for Santos Comeback

Neymar is eager to return to the pitch soon, after overcoming a muscle injury that sidelined him from the Paulista semifinal and the national team call-up. This weekend, the Santos idol trained on the field and assured he feels physically well:

“The happiest thing about getting back on the field is that I am pain-free, thank God,” he declared on his official site.

The forward continues his physical transition process at the CT Rei Pelé, performing specific exercises to strengthen his muscles and prevent new injuries, as highlighted by NREsportes.

“We had to strengthen everything, not just the back, but also the quadriceps. Now we can change the training and evolve,” he added.

Since his return to Peixe in January, Neymar has played seven matches, scored three goals (one olimpico), and provided three assists. The club is eager to renew his contract while hoping to have him available for the debut against Vasco in the Brasileirao, this Sunday at São Januário.
