Neymar Suspended: Yellow Card Sidelines Santos Star
6 Apr
Summary
- Neymar is suspended for the Flamengo match due to yellow card accumulation.
- He received his third yellow card of the season in the match against Remo.
- Neymar may face a further 12-match ban for comments made to the referee.
Neymar will be absent from the Santos FC squad facing Flamengo at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. The Brazilian star is suspended for tonight's Brasileirão match due to accumulating yellow cards.
He received his third caution of the season in the 86th minute of the recent 2-0 victory over Remo, a game where he also provided an assist. Despite not sustaining any injuries, this suspension means he cannot participate against Flamengo.
While Neymar is eligible to play in the following week's match against Atlético Mineiro, he potentially faces a much more severe consequence. Neymar's post-match comments to the referee after the Remo game could lead to a significant 12-match ban, though a final decision on this matter is still pending.
