Neymar Plays Today? Santos Lineup Revealed for Cruzeiro Match (03/22)
Cruzeiro and Santos meet this Sunday at 16h (Brasília) at the Mineirão. The match closes the eighth round of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.
Team news and Neymar status
Santos sits 16th with six points. The club’s record shows one win, three draws and three defeats. That run led to the dismissal of coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda.
Newly presented coach Cuca confirmed on Friday, March 20, that Neymar will not play. The forward is being managed with load control to preserve his physical condition.
The same precaution was used in the game against Mirassol. Neymar did not travel for that match even with the presence of Carlo Ancelotti.

- Goalkeeper: Gabriel Brazão
- Defense: Igor Vinicius, Lucas Veríssimo, Luan Peres, Escobar
