Santos will play 5 matches in August. The team will want to get Neymar in these matches. However, there is still concern about how many matches this star can play! And even though he took the field, Neymar could not give his best in most of the matches.
He has scored only one goal in 7 matches for Santos in this league this season. And in all competitions (including the Paulista Championship), he has 4 goals and 3 assists in 15 matches.
