Mayke picks up third yellow, ruled out for Santos v Flamengo | OneFootball

Santos has suffered a setback for the match against Flamengo, in the 33rd round of the Brazilian Championship. Right-back Mayke received his third yellow card in the derby against Palmeiras this Thursday at Allianz Parque and will have to serve a suspension.

Already on a warning, the player was booked after committing a hard foul on Sosa in the final minutes of the first half. Therefore, he will not play against the Rubro-Negro. As a result, the tendency is for Igor Vinícius to be the starter for Peixe in Rio de Janeiro.

Returns

On the other hand, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will have important returns for Santos. Defender Luan Peres is back from suspension and will strengthen the team. In addition, expectations are that Neymar will be included in the squad again.

The star, who has recovered from a muscle injury in his right thigh, was rested for the derby against Palmeiras due to the synthetic pitch at Allianz Parque. However, he is training normally with the squad and should be named for the match against Flamengo.
