Alexis Duarte says he’s ready to make his Santos debut in the derby | OneFootball

Santos might have a new addition in the match against São Paulo next Sunday, for the 24th round of the Brazilian Championship. This is Alexis Duarte.

The defender recently joined Peixe and made himself available to coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda to play at Vila Belmiro.

“I am physically well. It depends on the coach. I am well, I feel good. We will see how the week goes and how we will work,” he stated.

Moreover, Duarte is already registered in the CBF's Daily Information Bulletin (BID). Santos registered him this afternoon.

For the match against São Paulo, Peixe will not be able to count on Zé Ivaldo. The defender was sent off in the 1-1 draw with Atlético-MG last Sunday at Arena MRV. João Basso, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, and Luisão are other options for the Argentine coach.
