Souza ruled out for Santos clash with Fortaleza | OneFootball

Santos will not be able to count on Souza for the match against Fortaleza, in the 31st round of the Brazilian Championship. This Sunday, in the 2-2 draw with Botafogo, the left-back received his third yellow card.

The youngster, who scored Peixe’s first goal and won the penalty that led to the second, was booked by Rodrigo José Pereira de Lima (PE) in stoppage time of the first half for simulating a foul inside the box.

As a result, Souza will miss the direct clash with Fortaleza, next Saturday, at 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the 31st round of the Brasileirão.

The tendency is for Escobar to return to the starting lineup. The Argentine had been on a long run in the position until he was benched against Botafogo.
