Escobar will miss Santos v Fluminense after collecting his third booking in the 1-0 win over Atlético-MG at Vila Belmiro. Referee Rafael Rodrigo Klein judged the left-back to have simulated a penalty and cautioned him after 11 minutes.

According to Diario Do Peixe, the suspension rules the Argentine out of the 12th-round fixture at Vila Belmiro on Sunday 19 at 16:00.

Head coach Cuca was dismissed for two cautions for dissent and will also be suspended against the Tricolor das Laranjeiras. Assistant Cuquinha, sent off against Flamengo in the previous round, should return and take charge.

Barreal is also set to return next weekend, having served a suspension during the meeting with Galo.

In the Atlético game, Luan Peres and Gabigol were booked. For the Fluminense match, Gabriel Brazão, Igor Vinicius, Gustavo Henrique, João Schmidt, Gabriel Menino, Bontempo and Gabigol will be at risk of suspension if cautioned.

Additionally, players carrying bookings include Adonis Frías, Zé Ivaldo, Zé Rafael, Rincón, Rollheiser and Thaciano.
