Santos lose Tiquinho Soares for derby against Corinthians | OneFootball

Santos has suffered another setback for the classic match against Corinthians, which will be played after the Fifa date. It is the striker Tiquinho Soares, who was warned with the third yellow card during the defeat by 3 to 0 to Ceará, this Sunday, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Tiquinho started the game on the bench and was called by Vojvoda and received the warning at 40 minutes of the second half. He came on for Guilherme, who started among the starters.

Also on the brink were six more players: João Basso, Luisão, Mayke, Souza, João Schmidt and Zé Rafael. Mayke and Luisão didn't even travel to Fortaleza. While Schmidt and Zé Rafael started among the starters, Souza came on in the second half, and Basso was not used. However, none of them were yellow carded and are available.

For the duel against Ceará, Santos also did not have Neymar and Victor Hugo, injured. The duo should continue to be out for the classic. The defender Alexis Duarte, who was called up by Paraguay, should also be absent for Vojvoda, as he will not have enough time to return to Santos to be on the field after the friendlies.

Table Situation

The result leaves Santos with 28 points, in 16th position, three points from Vitória, the team that opens the relegation zone. This was the first defeat of the Alvinegro Praiano with coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda in charge. The coach, now, will have the period of the Fifa date to make the necessary adjustments in his team for the continuation of the season.
