Andrés Gómez back with Vasco after World Cup, fitness to be monitored | OneFootball

Andrés Gómez has rejoined Vasco after Colombia's 2026 World Cup, putting him in contention for Thursday's trip to Vitória.

According to Globo.com, the forward trained on Tuesday at CT Moacyr Barbosa with new head coach Pedro Emanuel.

The fixture kicks off at 19:30 in Salvador as the Campeonato Brasileiro resumes.

Gómez played only once at the World Cup, coming on in stoppage time against Uzbekistan.

He is likely to be named in the squad, although the staff will monitor him daily before deciding on minutes.

He reported back without issues, but he had not trained with the squad in the past month and did not have the same holiday period.

His return bolsters a short-handed attack, with the club still seeking a wide forward to raise competition.

The Colombian is among Vasco's leading performers, with eight goal involvements in 34 matches in 2026.

Vasco sit 17th in the league and will try to spark a recovery after the World Cup pause.
