After the draw with Atlético-MG, in Belo Horizonte, the Santos squad reported back at CT Rei Pelé this Tuesday. The club is preparing to face São Paulo, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship.
The players who played more than 45 minutes at Arena MRV, last Sunday, did a regenerative workout. The rest went to the field.
For the classic, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will count on the return of Rollheiser. The attacking midfielder served a suspension against Atlético-MG. Another novelty is Alexis Duarte. The defender, presented this Tuesday, is already regularized in the BID of CBF and said he is fit to play.
The commander also hopes to have Willian Arão. The medical department understands that the midfielder is in the final stages of recovery from a calf injury.
Gabriel Brazão is doubtful. The goalkeeper left the match against Galo in an ambulance due to a blow to the head in a dispute with Igor Gomes.
As the concussion protocol was triggered by CBF, Brazão will need to spend five days away from Santos' training, recovering. He will only be released after detailed exams. If everything goes correctly in this period, the goalkeeper could only participate in activities on the eve of the classic.
Zé Ivaldo is certain to be absent. The defender was sent off in Belo Horizonte. Igor Vinícius is also not available. The right-back is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Santos will return to training this Wednesday. Vojvoda will have four more training sessions to define the starting team for the San-São.
