New Santos signings travel for clash with Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Santos will have new options available for the game this Sunday (14th) at 4 PM (Brasília time) against Atlético-MG at Arena MRV, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The three newly signed reinforcements – defender Adonís Frias, midfielder Victor Hugo, and forward Lautaro – traveled with the team and may debut in the black and white jersey.

There is anticipation about the trio's presence in the starting lineup. Lautaro Díaz is the most likely to start the match alongside Guilherme in the attack, but Adonís Frias and Victor Hugo are also in a position to play from the beginning.

Absences and New Additions

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda conducted tests during the FIFA break, even analyzing a formation with 3 defenders. Against Galo, he will have a significant absence. The Argentine Rollheiser received his third yellow card in the goalless draw against Fluminense and will have to serve a suspension.

Willian Arão, who is still following his physical transition schedule, is not available yet. Midfielder Gabriel Bontempo, with an injury in the right thigh adductor muscle, is also out. Another absence is defender Alexis Duarte, who has not yet been registered.

Thus, a possible lineup is: Brazão, Mayke, Adonis Frías (Zé Ivaldo), Luan Peres, and Escobar; João Schmidt, Zé Rafael, Victor Hugo (Caballero), and Neymar; Guilherme and Lautaro Díaz.

Neymar's Situation

Neymar is also training normally. The attacking midfielder does not like to play on synthetic fields, like the one at Atlético-MG's home, but is expected to play due to the importance of the match.
