Rio De Janeiro, Sept. 4 -- Neymar faces a new injury layoff after being substituted at halftime in Santos' goalless draw with Palmeiras in the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals.
The 34-year-old left the pitch at halftime of Wednesday's fixture and didn't return as Santos was eliminated 3-0 on aggregate.
After the match, Neymar criticized a decision to delay the pitch's preparation until a day before the game, according to Xinhua.
"I'd like to congratulate the person in charge of the pitch at Vila Belmiro," Neymar said in a social media post.
