See Vojvoda’s options to replace Neymar in Santos’ line-up against Inter | OneFootball

Santos has another crucial match in the Brazilian Championship as they aim to escape the relegation zone. The team will visit Internacional this Monday at Beira-Rio, starting at 9 PM (Brasília time). Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not be able to count on Neymar, who felt discomfort in his left knee during the match against Mirassol.

Therefore, Gazeta Esportiva has outlined the options the Argentine coach has to replace the Santos star against Internacional. See below:

The Options

With Neymar absent, the tendency is for the Argentine Benjamín Rollheiser to be the natural replacement for the Brazilian. Santos' number 32 has characteristics similar to the 33-year-old star, such as good playmaking and dangerous finishing.

The Argentine forward is in high regard with the fans, especially after the goal that secured Santos' victory against Palmeiras in the classic match held just over a week ago at Vila Belmiro.

The young Victor Hugo, just 21 years old, could be another option for Vojvoda. The midfielder was even the alternative found by the Argentine coach to replace Neymar in the classic against Palmeiras at Allianz Parque. On that occasion, the number 10 did not play due to a technical decision.

Another contender is midfielder Thaciano, who could be considered an option due to his playmaking ability. However, the player has had limited opportunities with Vojvoda, appearing in three of Santos' last eight matches.
