Santos is already in Fortaleza for the match against Ceará, part of the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship. The Alvinegro delegation landed in the capital of Ceará on Saturday night.

The main novelty among those called up is Gabriel Bontempo. The midfielder has recovered from a right thigh adductor muscle injury suffered at the end of August.

On the other hand, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not have Mayke. The right-back will be rested due to muscle fatigue. Thus, Igor Vinícius will start.
