Luan Peres fractures hand and misses Santos against Red Bull Bragantino | OneFootball

Luan Peres fractures hand and will miss Santos against Red Bull Bragantino in the 15th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Adonis Frías starts alongside Lucas Veríssimo in central defence.

According to Globo.com, the centre-back has a fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his left hand and pain has increased in recent days. He sits out to step up treatment and protect the area.

He felt the issue during the match against Palmeiras, yet played on at the time.

The aim is for him to be fully fit by Wednesday, when Santos face Coritiba in the fifth phase of the Copa do Brasil at Couto Pereira after a 0-0 first leg.

The tie is for a place in the last 16 and is viewed as the club’s most important fixture of the first half of the year. Lucas Veríssimo and Frías are used to operating on the same side, and the Argentine is expected to switch to the left.
