The Santos is lined up to face Grêmio, this Wednesday, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda made only one change, in defense.

Gonzalo Escobar returns from suspension and takes over the starting position on the left flank. Souza will only be on the bench.

Thus, the Santos will have: Brazão; Mayke, Alexis Duarte, Luan Peres and Escobar; Zé Rafael, João Schmidt, Barreal and Rollheiser; Guilherme and Lautaro Díaz.

Vojvoda continues without Neymar. The attacking midfielder is recovering from an injury to the rectus femoris muscle of the right thigh. He is expected to be sidelined for about a month. Midfielders Gabriel Bontempo and Victor Hugo are also treating muscle injuries.

Grêmio's Lineup

On the Grêmio side, coach Mano Menezes lined up: Grando; Gustavo Martins, Noriega, Wagner Leonardo and Marlon; Dodi, Arthur and Edenilson; Pavón, Alysson and André Henrique.

The Tricolor has an extensive list of absentees. Most recently, Willian (foot fracture) and Tiago Volpi (muscle discomfort) have become problems. Balbuena, Braithwaite, Carlos Vinicius, João Lucas, João Pedro, Monsalve and Villasanti, all injured, complete the losses.

The ball rolls on the Vila Belmiro pitch from 9:30 pm (Brasília time).
