After pushing for a starting spot, Caballero loses ground at Santos | OneFootball

The arrival of Juan Pablo Vojvoda at Santos resulted in changes to the squad. Some players ended up losing their place, such as Gustavo Caballero. The forward has few minutes with the coach.

The Paraguayan even started as a starter in the coach's first game, a 0-0 draw with Fluminense at Vila Belmiro. In the following seven matches, however, the scenario changed.

Caballero started on the bench in all these commitments and did not take the field three times. In the other four, he played a maximum of 20 minutes.

In the 3-1 victory over Corinthians, for example, he came on only in stoppage time. Against Vitória, even with Santos needing to score goals, as they lost 1-0, Vojvoda did not call him up.

Discreet numbers

Caballero was announced by Peixe on July 24. Since then, he has played 10 games, with one goal and one assist. Both contributions to goals, by the way, were in the same match, a 2-1 victory over Cruzeiro, away from home, in the 19th round of the Brasileirão.

Now, the Paraguayan hopes to gain more minutes in the match against Botafogo, scheduled for Sunday at 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro, for the 30th round of Serie A.
