Santos returns to action in the Brasileirão 2026, and they will host Remo at the Estadio Urbano Caldeira.

Santos are winless in their last four matches, even with Neymar Jr. involved in two of the last four games. Neymar missed the previous match against Cruzeiro on March 22, 2026.

The Brazilian star scored a goal in his last appearance, which was in Santos' 2-1 loss at home to Internacional. Neymar scored an equalizer for Santos from a penalty spot, but a last-minute winner from Internacional's Johan Carbonero gave the away team the three points.

Neymar has four goal contributions in his last three games for Santos, scoring three goals and providing an assist.

After missing the last match for Santos, fans wonder if Neymar will be back on the pitch, which is crucial for Santos and his chances to earn a call-up for the Brazil national team for the 2026 World Cup.
