Neymar Expected to Return for Weekend Match, Will Fulfill Contract Before Deciding Future
According to Brazilian media Globo Esporte, Santos is expected to welcome Neymar's return in this weekend's Brazilian Serie A match against Chapecoense at Vila Belmiro Stadium. More than two weeks after Brazil's early World Cup exit, Neymar has resumed training at the King Pelé Training Center and will have sufficient preparation time before Saturday's match. The coaching staff will decide whether he starts or plays limited minutes. Santos is more concerned about Neymar's psychological state than his physical condition, as the end of his career approaches. Neymar has informed club management that he intends to fulfill his contract until December before deciding his next step. Possibilities include retiring at the end of the year or moving to Major League Soccer, provided there is interest from other teams.
