Santos get a break after their win, Meninos da Vila return to the Copinha | OneFootball

The Santos squad got a break this Sunday. The club defeated Novorizontino this Saturday, 2-1, at Vila Belmiro, in the first round of the Campeonato Paulista.

The players will return to training this Monday at CT Rei Pelé. The team’s next match is on Wednesday, against Palmeiras, away from home, for the second round of the State Championship.

Meninos da Vila returned

Continuing with the project of transition and integration between the youth and professional squads, the players Gustavo Henrique, Pepê Fermino, and Mateus Xavier return to the under-20 team to compete in the Copa São Paulo de Futebol Júnior.

The Meninos da Vila will be available to coach Vinicius Marques for the match against Cuiabá, this Monday, in the second phase of the youth tournament.

Gustavo Henrique and Mateus Xavier were used by Juan Pablo Vojvoda in the 2-1 victory over Novorizontino. Both came on in the second half. Pepê Firmino, on the other hand, remained on the bench.

Reinforcements and absences

Santos hopes to have some reinforcements available against Palmeiras. Bontempo and Barreal may be among the new faces. The young midfielder underwent nose surgery but is already training with the squad. The Argentine attacking midfielder missed the debut due to bureaucratic issues. The management is expected to resolve his situation in the coming days.

On the other hand, Neymar (knee arthroscopy), Souza (leaving), Zé Rafael (conjunctivitis), Victor Hugo (leaving), and Tiquinho Soares (calf edema) are expected to remain unavailable.
