Gabigol trains with squad, could boost Santos against Flamengo | OneFootball

What happened to Gabigol in training this Friday (03)?

Santos face Flamengo this Sunday (05), in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. For the match, coach Cuca is expected to have Gabigol back, after he had been out due to a right calf injury.

Gabigol showed progress in his recovery and, as a result, trained normally with his teammates this Friday (03) at CT Rei Pelé. That has raised expectations about the striker’s real clinical and physical condition.

It is important to note that, besides Friday’s session (03), the Santos squad will hold one final training session before traveling to Rio de Janeiro on Saturday morning (04). It will be in that session, in fact, that Cuca will decide whether to include Gabigol in the squad for the clash with Flamengo.

SANTOS HAVE CONFIRMED ABSENCES FOR THE MATCH AGAINST FLAMENGO?

While Gabigol remains a question mark, coach Cuca already knows he will not be able to count on Neymar, who received his third yellow card in the last round against Remo. In addition to the number 10, forward Rony is also out due to automatic suspension.

HOW ARE FLAMENGO HEADING INTO THE MATCH AGAINST SANTOS?

Flamengo will be looking for a quick response in the league, as they are coming off a 3-0 defeat to Bragantino. For the match, Erick Pulgar is a confirmed absentee, as he was sent off in the last round.

Saúl Ñíguez also remains out, as he is still recovering from surgery on his left heel. Finally, Bruno Henrique (groin pain) and Alex Sandro (muscle injury) are listed as doubts.
