Neymar has once again sidelined himself for a major fixture due to his long-standing and vocal opposition to artificial playing surfaces. The Brazilian icon sat out Santos’ high-profile derby against Palmeiras to avoid the synthetic pitch at the Allianz Parque, a decision that comes at a critical time as he fights to prove his fitness to Carlo Ancelotti.

Gabriel Jesus has seemingly opened the door to a summer move away from Arsenal. The Brazilian forward, who has struggled for regular minutes this season since his return from a lengthy injury layoff, has revealed he still has a "desire" to return to the club where his career began.
