Santos training: Vojvoda likely to miss key player for clash with Vitória | OneFootball

Santos held, this Saturday, the penultimate training session before facing Vitória in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda led a tactical training session at CT Rei Pelé.

The coach is still not expected to have Tomás Rincón available. The midfielder is in transition after suffering a muscle edema in his left calf. He has not yet trained with the squad and, therefore, should be sidelined once again.

Thaciano, on the other hand, is back. The midfielder is training normally after recovering from discomfort in his ankle. Alexis Duarte is also a new addition. The defender returned last Thursday after serving with the Paraguayan national team during the FIFA break. In attack, Tiquinho Soares returns after serving a suspension in the 3-1 win over Corinthians.

Santos Absences

Santos has two confirmed absences for the match against Vitória. Neymar is still recovering from an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh. The attacking midfielder even appeared on the pitch this Friday, but only took part in the team talk with Vojvoda and then went to the gym.

João Schmidt, meanwhile, is suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards.

Probable Santos lineup

Thus, a possible lineup is: Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinícius, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, and Escobar; Willian Arão, Zé Rafael, Barreal, and Rollheiser; Guiherme and Lautaro Díaz.

Santos’ Position in the Table

Santos is in 16th place, with 31 points, three more than Vitória, who are just above the relegation zone.
