Vasco absence opens the door for a new talent’s debut | OneFootball

The coach Fernando Diniz might promote a special and historic debut in the match between Vasco and Bahia this Wednesday. The young Diego Minete, only 16 years old, has been included for the first time in the professional team lineup. If he steps onto the field, he will become the second youngest player to play for the club in the 21st century.

Absence in the attack opens the opportunity

The opportunity for Diego Minete arose due to the suspension of Rayan, who received his third yellow card and is out of the game. With the absence of the starter, Diniz looked to the youth squad and decided to include the young forward, who is one of the standouts in his category.

Born in January 2009, Diego Minete would debut at 16 years, 7 months, and 28 days. At this age, he would surpass in the list of youngest debutants names like Andrey Santos, Talles Magno, and Paulinho. Only Rayan, who debuted at 16 years and 5 months, would be younger than him in the current century.

The match against Bahia, therefore, gains an extra attraction. The Vasco fans might witness the first step in the career of another promising talent from Vasco's “Strong Base.”
