Trio trains as usual and set to boost Santos against Corinthians | OneFootball

Santos held its second-to-last training session on Monday morning ahead of the derby against Corinthians, valid for the Brazilian Championship. With the trio Victor Hugo, Bontempo and Mayke on the field, the Alvinegro squad continued preparations, focusing on physical and tactical work.

The players arrived at the Rei Pelé Training Center around 9 a.m. (Brasília time) and began work an hour later. The athletes started the day with a physical session. Afterwards, Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s coaching staff conducted a tactical activity, running tests for the derby.

Santos hosts Corinthians this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Possible returns and absences

Vojvoda should be able to count on three important returns. Midfielders Victor Hugo and Gabriel Bontempo have recovered from their respective muscle injuries and should be included. Both trained normally on Monday.

Another player who should also be available is right-back Mayke. He took part in Monday’s session without any major issues after recovering from inflammation in his right knee, which kept him out of the match against Ceará.

On the other hand, the Argentine coach will continue to have the absence of Neymar, who is recovering from an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh. Midfielder Tomás Rincón, with swelling in his left calf, should also be a miss for the Peixe.

Santos will wrap up preparations for the Alvinegro derby on Tuesday afternoon, again at the Rei Pelé Training Center.

Santos’ situation in the Brasileirão

With 28 points from 26 matches, Santos is close to the relegation zone of the Brazilian Championship. Currently, the Peixe is in 16th place, three points ahead of 17th-placed Vitória, the team that opens the bottom four.
