Rincón picks up calf strain, could miss out for Santos | OneFootball

Santos may lose an important piece in the next rounds of the Brazilian Championship. This Sunday, the Peixe confirmed that defensive midfielder Tomás Rincón underwent tests and was diagnosed with a muscle edema in his left calf. Thus, the Venezuelan becomes a doubt for the clásico against Corinthians this Wednesday, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro.

Rincón left Santos’ training last Friday with severe discomfort in the area. After tests, the injury was indicated and he may be a miss for the Peixe in the next rounds, although the Baixada team did not release a recovery timeline. He has already begun treatment in the club’s physiotherapy department.

Absences and returns

Although he has been a substitute since Vojvoda’s arrival, Rincón stands out for his leadership within the squad. Now, the Venezuelan joins Neymar in Santos’ medical department, which was practically empty during this October FIFA window.

In this break without games, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda received good news and again had some players available, such as Mayke and Gabriel Bontempo, in daily training with the ball. In addition, the Argentine coach witnessed Victor Hugo’s progress toward physical transition. The three should be available against Corinthians.
