Robinho Jr. Says Neymar Clash Is Resolved After Confirming Slap

Overview

• After Tuesday’s match in Paraguay, the 18-year-old said Neymar slapped him in Sunday’s training but apologized and that the dispute is settled.
• Robinho Jr. said the extrajudicial notice his camp sent Monday seeking an inquiry, training images and a meeting about a possible contract exit was issued in anger.
• Santos had already opened an internal sindicância, a formal club investigation led by its legal department, to review what happened at the CT Rei Pelé on Sunday.
• Both players stayed with the squad for Tuesday’s Copa Sudamericana game, where Neymar scored and hugged Robinho Jr., and many Santos fans booed the teenager and cheered the No. 10.
• Club officials are weighing discipline for Neymar, including a fine, in a case that also touches locker-room harmony and his image as Brazil prepares to name its World Cup squad.
