Calendar turns Neymar’s red card into almost a month away from Santos

Neymar’s red card against Bahia should leave him almost a month without playing: out since 24 October, the number 10 is only expected back on 18 November against Coritiba, a gap of 25 days caused by the calendar.

A expulsão diante do Bahia vai custar bem mais ao Santos do que as duas partidas de suspensão automática. Por causa da distribuição dos próximos jogos no calendário, o camisa 10 deve passar praticamente um mês sem entrar em campo.

A última vez que Neymar atuou foi em 24 de outubro, na Vila Belmiro. A conta para o retorno aponta 18 de novembro, data do duelo com o Coritiba — intervalo de 25 dias entre uma apresentação e outra, prazo que pode se esticar conforme eventuais desdobramentos disciplinares.

No meio do caminho, o time tem dois compromissos pelo Brasileirão, e o atacante não joga nenhum deles. O primeiro deles é o clássico diante do Palmeiras, marcado para quarta-feira, no dia 28 de outubro, às 19h30 de Brasília. Depois, o time encara o Red Bull Bragantino fora de casa, em 2 de novembro, a partir das 20h.

As ausências já estão definidas pelo que aconteceu no empate com o Bahia, quando o jogador acumulou o terceiro cartão amarelo e ainda recebeu vermelho direto.

A pausa longa também é efeito da Data Fifa de novembro: como o Santos não joga depois do duelo com o Bragantino até o jogo contra o Coritiba, o atacante precisará esperar duas semanas extras após cumprir a punição para voltar a jogar oficialmente.

Existe ainda uma variável capaz de alterar esse planejamento. O lance da expulsão pode parar no Superior Tribunal de Justiça Desportiva (STJD), órgão que julga infrações disciplinares em competições nacionais. Se houver condenação com pena maior que a automática, o período de ausência aumenta, a depender do enquadramento e da decisão do tribunal.
