Vasco president outlines club’s strategy if players are called up | OneFootball

With the growing prominence of its players, Vasco da Gama is beginning to deal with a “problem” common to major clubs: the possibility of multiple absences due to call-ups. When asked about the issue, president Pedrinho outlined the strategy that will be adopted. The club will analyze each situation individually, seeking a solution that does not harm either the team or the players’ careers.

Vasco will take a “case-by-case” approach

The Vasco board will adopt a diplomatic and strategic stance. Instead of a single decision to release or veto, the club will weigh each call-up individually. President Pedrinho’s statement was clear. He said:

Four players are on the National Team’s radar

Vasco’s concern is justified. Currently, four players from the squad are on coach Carlo Ancelotti’s radar. The names of full-back Paulo Henrique, midfielder Philippe Coutinho, and forward Rayan had already been monitored. The new addition is goalkeeper Léo Jardim, who emerges as an option after a possible injury to Alisson.

The issue was raised due to the match against Fortaleza, scheduled for October 15, during the next FIFA Date. The “case-by-case” approach indicates that, if Vasco has multiple confirmed absences, the board may request the CBF to postpone the match, in order to ensure fairness in the competition. Therefore, the decision will only be made after the final call-up list is released.
