Santos will start their journey in Series A of the 2026 Brazilian Championship on Wednesday (28/1). Peixe fans are eagerly awaiting Neymar’s return to the field this season. Will the number 10’s return not happen at this point? THE Sporting News responds.
Will Neymar debut with Santos in Série A 2026?
The striker remains out of the matches and will not be available for this Wednesday’s clash. Neymar continues in the recovery process after undergoing arthroscopy on his left knee at the end of 2025, shortly after the end of the Brazilian Championship.
Despite this, the news is good for Alvinegro fans. Neymar has completed another stage of his recovery and is close to returning to the field.
This Monday (26/1), the striker began physical transition work at CT Rei Pelé. The player must remain in this transition process for at least a week and, depending on progress, begin training with the ball alongside his other teammates.
It is expected that he will return to action in the game only at the beginning of February.
On Wednesday, the team debuts in the Brasileirão against Chapecoense, away from home. On Saturday, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), Santos will face São Paulo, at Morumbis, in a decisive classic for the Campeonato Paulista.
