Neymar's Comeback: Back on Pitch for Santos FC!

Neymar has been included in the Santos FC squad for their upcoming Campeonato Paulista match, marking his return after an eight-week absence due to surgery and rehabilitation. The 34-year-old forward has been steadily improving in team training since early February, with Santos meticulously managing his recovery to prevent further injuries.

His return is timely as he seeks to demonstrate his fitness to national team coach Carlo Ancelotti ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Neymar has just over a month to prove he is back to peak condition and secure a place in Brazil's squad. His performance in upcoming friendlies against France and Croatia will be under close scrutiny.
