Santos players back Neymar after Robinho legal notice

Journalist Paulo Vinicius Coelho reports that Santos players have united behind Neymar following a training clash with Robinho Jr., viewing Robinho's representatives filing a legal notice as a breach of football ethics.

Although Neymar admitted he was wrong to slap Robinho, teammates support him because Robinho's representatives filed an extrajudicial notice against him. Santos president Marcelo Teixeira is investigating the assault internally. capturengo.org

The incident raises concerns for the CBF and Neymar's World Cup 2026 prospects due to repeated indiscipline and self-sabotage, potentially jeopardizing his spot under Carlo Ancelotti.
