Santos is already in Curitiba for the match against Athletico-PR, in the third round of the Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegro delegation landed in the capital of Paraná early Wednesday evening.
The big news is Moisés. The forward, recently announced by the club, is registered with the BID and was included in the squad by coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda. The coach also has midfielder Gustavo Henrique back. He has recovered from an injury to the adductor muscle in his right thigh.
João Basso (swelling in the right calf), Adonis Frías (muscle injury in the right calf), Willian Arão (surgery to remove a kidney stone), and Zé Rafael (patellar tendinitis) are also unavailable.
On the other hand, Santos will not have Gabigol at Arena da Baixada. The forward will be rested for the match. Neymar is also not making the trip. The attacking midfielder is being prepared to return to action on Sunday, against Velo Clube, already as a starter. Additionally, the match against Furacão will be played on synthetic turf—a type of field often criticized by the main Alvinegro players.
Thus, a possible lineup is: Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinícius, Zé Ivaldo, Luan Peres, and Escobar; João Schmidt, Gabriel Bontempo, and Gabriel Menino; Barreal, Thaciano, and Rony.
