With Gabriel Menino in the starting line-up, Santos set to face Guarani | OneFootball

Santos is set for its third match of the 2026 season. The team, led by Juan Pablo Vojvoda, will face Guarani later today at 8:30 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match valid for the third round of the Campeonato Paulista, at Brinco de Ouro. The main news in Peixe’s lineup is the presence of Gabriel Menino in the starting eleven.

The midfielder was announced last Wednesday and will make his debut for the Santos team tonight. He will join Willian Arão and Zé Rafael in midfield, with Zé Rafael also returning to the starting lineup after beginning on the bench in the derby against Palmeiras in the last round.

For this match, Vojvoda has also made other changes to the starting eleven. Right-back Mayke, who had lost his spot to the rising Igor Vinícius, is back among the starters. In addition, young Vini Lira appears on the opposite flank, replacing Escobar. In attack, Gabigol will be rested for the derby against Corinthians midweek, so Thaciano takes his place.

Therefore, Santos will take the field with: Gabriel Brazão; Mayke, Adonis Frías, Zé Ivaldo, and Vini Lira; Arão, Gabriel Menino, and Zé Rafael; Rollheiser, Barreal, and Thaciano.

Unavailable: Neymar (left knee surgery), Gabigol (tendinitis), Bontempo (edema in the back of the left thigh), and Tiquinho Soares (edema in the left calf).

Bugre will play with: Caíque França, Raphael, Maurício Antônio, Jonathan Costa, Emerson, Willian Farias, Nathan Melo, Isaque, Guilherme Parede, Mirandinha, and Maranhão.
