With new faces, Vasco announce squad for Santos clash in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

With updates on the list, Vasco announced the players selected for the match against Santos, valid for the fourth round of the Brazilian Championship. The game kicks off on Thursday at 7 PM (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro.

For the match, the Cruzmaltino will have two reinforcements: Cuiabano and Thiago Mendes. The former missed the classic against Fluminense on Sunday due to a sprain in his left knee but is back. The left-back, who has yet to debut for the club, also appeared on the list and may play his first game.

On the other hand, defender Carlos Cuesta, who was also absent in the first leg of the Taça Rio semifinal against Fluminense, remains out. He trained with the rest of the group but is not fit to strengthen the squad.

Still without a new coach

Fernando Diniz was dismissed last Sunday after the 1-0 defeat to Tricolor Carioca. Thus, interim coach Bruno Lazaroni will have the mission to lift Vasco out of the relegation zone of the Brasileirão this Thursday, against Santos.
