The Brazilian star is very angry after the injury

Neymar has lashed out at the state of the playing surface at Vila Belmiro following a painful injury exit during Santos' Copa do Brasil clash with Palmeiras. The Brazilian superstar was left in tears after being forced off, later taking to social media to express his absolute disbelief at the conditions provided by his own club.

Santos talisman Neymar has sat out first-team training after presenting with flu symptoms ahead of Sunday's crucial derby against Corinthians. The Brazilian superstar was rested as a precaution during the penultimate session before the classic, but the club remain hopeful their captain will recover in time to feature at the Neo Quimica Arena.

Santos have officially seen their FIFA transfer embargo lifted after Neymar's family agency, NR Sports, stepped in with a vital financial rescue package. The injection allowed the Brazilian club to clear an outstanding £1.7m debt owed to Monaco over Jean Lucas, freeing them to register new signings in their bid to pull clear of relegation danger.
