Santos training: Mayke stays indoors, Victor Hugo steps up fitness work | OneFootball

The Santos conducted a physical, tactical, and finishing training at CT Rei Pelé this Thursday. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda is preparing the team for the classic match against Corinthians, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Mayke only stayed in the indoor area this morning. The right-back will return to field training on Friday afternoon. He was absent in the 3-0 defeat to Ceará, away from home, due to a right knee inflammation.

Victor Hugo, on the other hand, is expected to be a new addition against Corinthians. The midfielder is in physical transition after suffering a muscle injury.

Santos' Absences

Alexis Duarte is with the Paraguay national team and is not training with the squad. The defender will represent his country in two friendly matches during the FIFA date and, therefore, will not be available against Timão. The Paraguayan team will face South Korea on the 14th, the eve of the classic match, at 8 a.m., in Seoul.

Vojvoda will also not be able to count on Tiquinho Soares against Corinthians. The center forward is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

What about Neymar?

Neymar remains out. The attacking midfielder is recovering from a right thigh rectus femoris muscle injury. Santos does not set a return date. The star is only doing indoor training at CT Rei Pelé.

Santos' Schedule
