With Rincón, Santos continue preparations to face Botafogo | OneFootball

On Thursday afternoon, Santos continued their preparations for the match against Botafogo, valid for the 30th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. The clash will take place on Sunday at 4:00 PM (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

Midfielder Tomás Rincón was seen training with the rest of the squad and could be a new addition for the match against the team from Rio. He is currently in physical transition after suffering a muscle edema in his left calf.

For this match, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not be able to count on Zé Rafael, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

And what about Neymar?

Neymar remains sidelined for Santos. The attacking midfielder is still recovering from an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh.

Schedule

The Santos squad will return to training on Friday morning, once again at CT Rei Pelé. See the full schedule HERE.

Santos’ position in the standings

Santos is currently in 16th place, with 31 points—the same as Vitória, who are the first team in the relegation zone. Despite having one game in hand, Peixe will not have an easy time and will need to pick up points in the final stretch of the Brasileirão to avoid relegation for the second time.
