Backed by fans, Santos finish derby prep: likely line-up revealed | OneFootball

Santos trained with massive support from the fans this Friday at CT Rei Pelé, wrapping up preparations for the derby against Palmeiras for the 13th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will take place this Saturday at 9:00 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro.

Uniformed fans were invited to watch part of the activities. They celebrated and showed their support for the squad. The star Neymar and the other players greeted the Santos supporters present.

Final adjustments

On the field, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda made the final adjustments to Santos. Defender Luan Peres, who went through concussion protocol, returned to training with his teammates but may start on the bench. The only absence is defender Alexis Duarte, who has been called up to the Paraguayan national team.

Thus, a probable lineup for Peixe is: Brazão; Mayke, Adonis Frías (Luan Peres), Zé Ivaldo and Souza; Willian Arão, Zé Rafael, Gabriel Bontempo (Victor Hugo) and Barreal; Guilherme (Robinho Jr. or Lautaro Díaz) and Neymar.
