Atlético-MG wrap up preparations for Santos clash in the Brasileiro | OneFootball

This Saturday, Atlético-MG wrapped up preparations to face Santos in a match valid for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The game is scheduled for 4:00 PM (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, in Belo Horizonte.

Under the command of coach Jorge Sampaoli, the players gathered at Cidade do Galo and held a training session focused on tactics. Afterwards, they worked on finishing and improved set-piece plays.

Junior Alonso will be absent from the match, as he received his third yellow card in Galo’s defeat to Vitória and will serve a suspension. In addition to him, right-back Saravia and midfielders Patrick and Caio Maia remain in the medical department, undergoing treatment for their respective injuries.

Atlético-MG is coming off an elimination in the quarterfinals of the Copa do Brasil against Cruzeiro. In addition, they have not won in the Brasileirão for four games, currently occupying 14th place with 24 points.

Now, they seek to return to winning ways against Santos, who are just above the relegation zone with 22 points, and are also going through a rough patch in the national competition, coming off three games without a win.
