Lima trains for first time, named in Santos squad to face Internacional | OneFootball

Lima trained with Santos for the first time on Saturday at CT Rei Pelé, a day after being unveiled, and has been named in the squad to face Internacional. As reported by Globo.com, his registration is complete.

The match, part of the 26th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, is on Sunday at 16:00 Brasília time at Arena Beira-Rio in Porto Alegre. Head coach Cuca has included the midfielder, who is likely to start on the bench.

Arthur, signed at the start of the week, trained with the group throughout. He has made himself available to Cuca and could start.

Saturday’s work was staged in rain across the Baixada Santista, beginning with physical drills before Cuca led a tactical session.

A likely Santos XI is Gabriel Brazão in goal, Igor Vinícius, Willian Arão, Luan Peres and Escobar in defence, João Schmidt, Arthur (Gustavo Henrique), Gabriel Bontempo and Rollheiser in midfield, Rony and Gabigol in attack.

Santos regard the trip as pivotal in their effort to move away from the relegation zone. Victory could stretch the gap to the Z-4 to as many as seven points.
