With Zé Ivaldo out, Adonis Frías could get first start in the San-São | OneFootball

Adonis Frías could be a new addition to Santos' defense for the classic match against São Paulo, next Sunday, at 8:30 pm (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Unable to count on Zé Ivaldo, who was sent off this Sunday, in the 1-1 draw with Atlético-MG, in Belo Horizonte, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda may resort to the Argentine, one of Santos' reinforcements in this last transfer window.

Adonis Frías was called upon in the second half of the duel with Atlético-MG, but he came on for striker Guilherme, an attempt by Vojvoda to protect his team, which was numerically disadvantaged for almost the entire second half.

The 27-year-old defender signed a contract with Santos until the end of 2028. Adonis Frías belonged to Léon, from Mexico, and competes for a place in the starting team with names like João Basso, Luan Peres and Luisão, in addition to Zé Ivaldo.

"Regarding Zé Ivaldo's expulsion, we lost a player for the next match, but we have players in the squad to replace him and put on a good performance at Vila Belmiro," commented Santos' coach, Juan Pablo Vojvoda.

The Argentine coach will have a free week to work the squad and decide who will replace Zé Ivaldo in the classic match against São Paulo, which takes place at Vila Belmiro. But, from what was seen against Atlético-MG, Adonis Frías has a good chance of being chosen.
