Santos training update, Gabriel Bontempo and Moisés likely to miss Botafogo game | OneFootball

Santos continue preparations to face Botafogo in the 19th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro, with Gabriel Bontempo and Moisés likely to miss out. The sides meet on Thursday at 19:30 Brasília time at Nilton Santos.

As reported by Globo.com, the squad trained on Tuesday morning at CT Rei Pelé and Bontempo, a midfielder, is managing pain in the pubic area. He is in a transition phase on to the pitch and, unlike last week, is already working in boots, but will only rejoin full sessions once the discomfort has gone.

Forward Moisés is treating a sprain in his right ankle sustained in a friendly against União São João. The pair are not expected to be named by coach Cuca for the Botafogo game.

Cuca oversaw a tactical workout on Tuesday, with additional drills on set plays and finishing. The team will hold a final session on Wednesday morning before travelling to Rio de Janeiro.

A probable Santos XI includes Gabriel Brazão, Gabriel Menino or Igor Vinícius, Lucas Veríssimo, Luan Peres, Escobar, Willian Arão, Gustavo Henrique, Rollheiser, Miguelito, Thaciano or Rony, and Barreal.
