Is Neymar Playing Today in Santos vs Recoleta? Live Streaming & TV Channels Info

Santos will be eager to get on the point board in the Copa Sudamericana as they host Deportivo Recoleta on Tuesday night. With both sides yet to win, a true match-winner is needed, and Santos have one in Neymar Jr. But is Neymar playing today for Santos? Our Santos vs Recoleta live stream guide has all the answers.

After surviving a real relegation scare last season. Santos did just enough to secure a Copa Sudamericana spot. But a disappointing 1-0 loss away to Deportivo Cuenca greeted them first up. It was partially because they had no Neymar Jr. in the squad for the game. Neymar is in sublime form as he provided an assist in the 2-0 Serie A win against Remo.

The former Barcelona star picked up a yellow card, which triggered an automatic ban due to it being his third in the league. He was expected to be back against Cuenca, but his manager Cuca revealed he was resting following a surgery on his knee during the recent international break. However, as new rumours raised fears of a long-term injury, Neymar quashed them by playing the entire 90-minutes in a 1-0 victory against Atletico MG on Saturday. A second game in three days will test his fitness, but to keep his World Cup dream alive, the 34-year-old winger must play today.

On the other side, their Paraguayan opponents reached the continental stage for the first-time. In their debut on the big stages, they had a 1-1 draw against San Lorenzo. But their form in the new campaign has been patchy to say the least. With just two wins in nine games in league and Cup, they sith eights in the Division Professional. Recoleta lost 2-1 away from home against Luqenzo on the weekend. But the hunt for their first continental victory will go on on Tuesday as they take on a strong Santos side looking to bounce back.
