Vasco take cautious approach with debut of new signing Cuiabano | OneFootball

One of Vasco’s new additions for 2026, Cuiabano is being handled with care by the coaching staff. Even though his signing was made official a week ago, the left-back has yet to make his debut and wasn’t even included in the squad for the match against Volta Redonda.

At São Januário, there is concern about Cuiabano’s physical condition, as he is not at the same match fitness level as his teammates. Coach Fernando Diniz also revealed that the player experienced some discomfort in his thigh.

Cuiabano played in recent weeks for Nottingham Forest’s under-21 team. Out of Sean Dyche’s plans, who was then the team’s coach, the left-back played twice in England’s youth competitions.

Vasco will also use the coming days to help Cuiabano improve physically. The expectation is that the number 66 will be in good condition for the next match.

Cuiabano had a good spell at Botafogo, taking part in the victorious campaigns in the 2024 Brazilian Championship and Copa Libertadores.
