David named in Vasco squad for Copa do Brasil decider at Vitória | OneFootball

David Corrêa has been included in Vasco’s travelling squad for the Copa do Brasil decider against Vitória in Salvador, remaining fully integrated with the first team.

According to PaponaColina, the trip comes days after the forward was the subject of search and seizure warrants in Rio de Janeiro, in a procedure led by the Polícia Civil do Espírito Santo with support from agents in the capital. The police inquiry remains ongoing with no conviction against the player, and he continues his duties under the presumption of innocence.

His inclusion gives head coach Pedro Emanuel another option of pace and power to bolster the attack for the knockout tie.

The No 7 trained with the group at CT Moacyr Barbosa throughout the week and could start or be introduced after the interval.

The second leg is scheduled for Wednesday 2 at Barradão, with a direct place in the Copa do Brasil semi-finals at stake.

Having won the first leg 1-0 at São Januário, Vasco only need a draw to progress in normal time.
