No Gabigol or Neymar, Santos unveil surprise for Athletico-PR clash | OneFootball

Santos has announced the squad for the match against Athletico-PR, valid for the third round of the Brazilian Championship. The main absences are Gabigol and Neymar, who have been left out of the match at Arena da Baixada due to the synthetic turf at Furacão’s stadium. The match will take place this Thursday at 7:00 PM (Brasília time).

On the other hand, the main news is the inclusion of forward Moisés, formerly of Fortaleza. The player arrived at Santos last Wednesday, has already been registered with the BID, and joins the squad for the match in Curitiba.

Defender João Basso and midfielder Gustavo Henrique may also take the field this Thursday. Although they were doubts due to injuries, both players recovered in time for the match.

However, Adonis Frías (muscle injury in the right calf), Willian Arão (surgery to remove a kidney stone), and Zé Rafael (patellar tendinitis) have not recovered and remain sidelined.

And who is expected to play?

A possible Santos lineup is: Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinícius, Zé Ivaldo (João Basso), Luan Peres and Escobar; João Schmidt, Gabriel Bontempo and Gabriel Menino; Barreal (Moisés), Thaciano and Rony.
