Santos line-up: Vojvoda makes seven changes to face Internacional | OneFootball

Santos’ lineup is set to face Internacional this Monday at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Beira-Rio, for the 35th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda decided to make several changes to the team, making seven alterations compared to the match against Mirassol.

Neymar is the major absence for Santos in Monday’s game. The star felt pain in his left knee and ended up being rested for the crucial head-to-head clash with Internacional, but he is expected to be available again for the match against Sport at Vila Belmiro next Friday.

In addition to the number 10, Vojvoda has two other absences. Zé Ivaldo received his third yellow card in the last round, against Mirassol, and will have to serve an automatic suspension. Lautaro Díaz, meanwhile, experienced discomfort in his right knee and was ruled out at the last minute.

Santos’ full lineup features Gabriel Brazão; Mayke, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, and Escobar; Willian Arão, Victor Hugo, and Zé Rafael; Rollheiser, Robinho Jr., and Thaciano.

Internacional, on the other hand, will take the field with Rochet; Aguirre, Mercado, Vitão, and Bernabei; Bruno Gomes, Thiago Maia, Alan Rodríguez, and Alan Patrick; Vitinho and Borré.

Santos desperately needs a win this Monday to escape the relegation zone of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Peixe is the first team in the Z4, with 37 points, two fewer than Vitória.

Internacional is also under threat, sitting in 15th place with 40 points. A win over Santos would put Colorado very close to securing their place in the Série A of the Brasileirão.
