Santos could be without a player for the next Brasileirão round | OneFootball

Santos could be without an important player for its next Brazilian Championship match.

According to ge, midfielder Rollheiser did not take part in training this Wednesday, limiting himself to physiotherapy work indoors at CT Rei Pelé.

The Argentine had already been rested and left out of last Tuesday’s match against Deportivo Cuenca in the Copa Sudamericana due to muscle pain.

In addition to Rollheiser, Santos’ medical department is still treating defensive midfielders Gabriel Menino and Oliva, as well as forward Thaciano.

Preparation and focus on the Brasileirão

Under coach Cuca, Wednesday’s work was split for the Santos squad:

Starters: The players who played more than 45 minutes in the 3-0 win over the Ecuadorians stayed in the gym doing recovery work.

Substitutes: The players who were not called up or remained on the bench went out onto the pitch for technical and tactical training.

A decisive situation in the table

The match against Vitória is being treated as crucial behind the scenes. Santos currently has 18 points and is the first team inside the Brasileirão relegation zone.

A positive result on Saturday, playing at home, could take the São Paulo side out of the bottom four, creating a more relaxed atmosphere and giving the club greater peace of mind to work during the break in the calendar for the World Cup.
