Depleted Santos continue preparations for Remo clash | OneFootball

On Tuesday, Santos continued its preparations for the clash with Remo in the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Cuca is still dealing with two absences for the match: right back Mayke and forward Gabigol.

Gabigol suffered edema in his right leg and, although he has made progress in his recovery — even running on the pitch at CT Rei Pelé alongside the physiotherapy staff — he is unlikely to play against Remo. Mayke, meanwhile, had been undergoing regenerative therapy on his right leg and will miss out due to the use of corticosteroid medication.

What about training?

Without the two absentees, Santos continued the tactical work it has been doing in recent days. Coach Cuca had the squad practice set pieces, simulating attacking and defensive situations.

Forward Neymar, who was rested for the clash with Cruzeiro, took part in training as normal. The Santos squad returns to CT Rei Pelé on Wednesday afternoon to wrap up preparations for the match against Remo.

Santos' situation in the Brasileiro

After drawing with Cruzeiro, Santos moved up to seven points and climbed out of the relegation zone. The Alvinegro Praiano is in 16th place, one point ahead of Botafogo, who sit 17th.
