Santos finish prep for Inter clash without Zé Rafael, likely line-up | OneFootball

Santos returned to training on Tuesday afternoon and completed preparations for the match against Internacional, for the seventh round of the Brasileirão. Midfielder Zé Rafael, who missed the Alvinegro Praiano in the derby against Corinthians, continued treatment for a right thigh edema and will be absent for Peixe against the team from Rio Grande do Sul.

The midfielder even went out onto the field and worked with the ball, but did not participate in the full training session and returned to the facilities at CT Rei Pelé to continue recovering from the injury.

Along with Zé Rafael, Santos will have two more injured players for the match against Internacional. Last Monday, left-back Vinícius Lira was diagnosed with a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee, and midfielder Gabriel Bontempo continues treatment for his muscle strains.

In addition to the three injured players, Santos has one more absence. Defender Luan Peres received a red card against Corinthians and will be absent against Internacional. However, Alvinegro Praiano should have a re-debut in defense. Presented this Tuesday, Lucas Veríssimo is available and should take the field against Colorado.

And the training?

Apart from the absentees, the Santos squad trained as usual. After warming up, the players performed tactical drills and also worked on set pieces.

With the absences, it is likely that Juan Pablo Vojvoda will line up: Gabriel Brazão; Adonis Frías, Zé Ivaldo and Lucas Veríssimo; Rony, Gustavo Henrique, Oliva, Willian Arão and Barreal; Neymar and Gabigol.
