Santos return to training, begin preparations to face Juventude | OneFootball

The Santos squad reported back to CT Rei Pelé this Sunday. After defeating Sport, the club is now focused on the match against Juventude, for the 37th round of the Brazilian Championship. The clash is scheduled for Wednesday, at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Alfredo Jaconi, in Caxias do Sul (RS).

The starters from the 3-0 victory over Leão last Friday only did a recovery session in the gym. The rest of the squad went out onto the pitch to work with the ball.

Who plays?

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not be able to count on Escobar. The left-back has a muscle injury in his thigh. Forward Tiquinho Soares, meanwhile, is doubtful. The number 9 felt discomfort in his left knee against Sport.

Meanwhile, Neymar, who was decisive against Leão, has assured that he will play against Juventude. The attacking midfielder has a knee injury, but is willing to make the sacrifice to help Santos in this final stretch of the Brasileirão.

At the moment, Peixe is in 16th place in Série A, with 41 points, the same as Inter, who are just above the relegation zone. The team from São Paulo has the advantage on goal difference.
