Neymar said he was left speechless after making his first appearance for Santos since returning to the Brazilian club where he began his illustrious career.

Santos president Marcelo Teixeira is confident Neymar will remain at the club at least until the 2026 World Cup.

Neymar 'is back' seems to be the verdict among fans after the Brazilian forward put in an eye-catching performance on his return to action since re-joining childhood club Santos during the winter transfer window.

Forward Neymar, who played his first 45 minutes this Wednesday after returning to Brazil's Santos, expressed his happiness with the football he showcased after several months away from professional play.
