Ready to play! Vasco name David for Copa do Brasil decider against Vitória | OneFootball

Forward David Corrêa was confirmed in the squad list and will travel as usual with the Vasco delegation to Salvador for the decisive match against Vitória. The presence of the No. 7 on the trip confirms the stance adopted by the club’s football department, keeping the player fully integrated into the sporting activities of the first team.

The trip comes just days after the athlete was targeted by search and seizure warrants in Rio de Janeiro, in a procedure led by the Civil Police of Espírito Santo with support from officers in the capital of Rio de Janeiro state.

The club internally stressed that the police investigation is still ongoing, with no conviction against the forward, ensuring his right to the presumption of innocence and the continuity of his professional duties.
