Willian Arão goes off with a knock against Bragantino, Santos left sweating | OneFootball

Santos has a new concern for the remainder of the season. Midfielder Willian Arão felt discomfort in his right calf during the draw with Red Bull Bragantino this Sunday, in the fifth round of the Campeonato Paulista, at the Neo Química Arena.

The midfielder complained of pain in the area during halftime and had to be substituted. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda chose to bring in João Schmidt to play the second half.

Willian Arão will undergo imaging tests this Monday to determine if there is an injury. It is worth noting that Santos’ medical department is already treating four other players: Thaciano (right hamstring), Neymar (left knee), Gustavo Henrique (right adductor), and Tiquinho Soares (left calf).

Arão joined Santos last season and played an important role in the campaign that avoided the team’s second relegation from Baixada Santista. In total, the midfielder has already played 18 matches wearing the Peixe shirt.
