Santos v Atlético-MG: probable line-ups and team news for Sudamericana quarter-final | OneFootball

Santos host Atlético-MG at Vila Belmiro on Wednesday at 19:00 Brasília time, the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana quarter-final.

According to Diario Do Peixe, Santos arrive after a 3-2 win at Internacional in the Brasileirão, stretching their buffer above the drop and allowing greater focus on the continental competition.

Cuca is likely to retain most of the XI used in Porto Alegre. Rodinei could make his Santos debut and may start in attack in Caballero’s place. Lucas Veríssimo remains out with right ankle pain, Neymar and Barreal are also sidelined, and Rony is suspended.

For Atlético-MG, Lyanco, Maycon and Igor Gomes return to the squad after spells in the treatment room, though the trio are expected to begin on the bench. Eduardo Domínguez still has to choose Cuello’s replacement after his suspension, and Cassierra or Reinier could start up front.

Referee Alexis Herrera will officiate, with Carlo Orbe on VAR. Probable line-ups: Santos, Gabriel Brazão, Igor Vinícius, Willian Arão, Luan Peres and Escobar, Christian Oliva, Gustavo Henrique, Rodinei, Gabriel Bontempo and Rollheiser, Gabriel Barbosa, coach Cuca. Atlético-MG, Gabriel Delfim, Natanael, Vitão, Vitor Hugo and Lodi, Castaño, Alan Franco (Maycon), Fred, Bernard and Minda, Cassierra (Reinier), coach Eduardo Domínguez.
