Santos face San Lorenzo this Wednesday (19) at 7 p.m. at Vila Belmiro, in a match valid for the fifth round of the Copa Sudamericana group stage.

The team is seeking a win to keep its mathematical chances of qualifying for the knockout stage alive.

Teams’ situation in Group D

Santos sit fourth in the group, with three points from four matches. San Lorenzo lead the group with six points. Cuca’s team will play its final two matches of this stage at home, at Vila Belmiro.

San Lorenzo, coached by Gustavo Álvarez, are prioritizing their Copa Sudamericana and Copa Argentina matches before the World Cup break, as the team has already been eliminated from the Argentine Championship.

Absences

Neymar will not be included in the squad for the match. The forward is receiving treatment in the medical department due to calf pain, a symptom he felt in Sunday’s game against Coritiba.

The player had his name confirmed on Monday in coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad list for the World Cup.

Gustavo Henrique is another absentee for Santos due to adductor muscle pain.
