Santos will be without Gabigol for their Copa Sudamericana debut away to Deportivo Cuenca on Wednesday at 19:00 Brasília time.

According to Globo.com, the forward will undergo a fresh PRP procedure, which uses the player’s own blood to speed muscle and cellular recovery, so he will not travel. The treatment targets right thigh adductor tendonitis.
