Many changes

For the match, Dorival Júnior will have to reshape the team due to confirmed absences. Center-back Domingos Duarte is out for the rest of the season with a serious injury, while striker and captain Jonathan Calleri will serve an automatic suspension after his third yellow card.

The spot leading the attack is being contested by youngsters Ryan Francisco and Gustavo Santana, but the latter is dealing with a foot sprain and is not at 100% fitness. André Silva is also an outside option. See Tricolor’s likely lineup here for the derby.

On the Santos side, coach Cuca is still without forward Neymar, who is being rested as part of his physical transition schedule. Attacking midfielder Gabriel Bontempo, away with the senior Brazil national team during the FIFA international break, is also unavailable.

The main attraction among the Santos squad list could be the presence of Philippe Coutinho, who is fit enough to make his debut for the team, though he is expected to start the derby on the bench.
