Brazil Serie A News
Santos have dismissed reports suggesting a lack of transparency from their medical staff regarding Neymar's physical condition and believe the player will be ready to play at the World Cup.
Neymar has suffered a calf injury that will sideline him for Santos' upcoming matches, but he is expected to be ready next week to join the Brazil national team camp ahead of the World Cup.
Cuca discusses Neymar's unintended substitution during Santos' 3-0 defeat to Coritiba and states the officiating mistake was not responsible for the final result.
Santos coach Cuca praised Neymar following his team's 2-0 league win on Sunday, with Brazil close to announcing their World Cup squad.
Santos have opened an investigation into the "alleged physical assault" of Robinho Junior by Neymar during Sunday's training session.
