Coutinho returns as Vasco train ahead of Internacional clash | OneFootball

On the morning of this Wednesday, the Vasco squad was present at the Moacyr Barbosa Training Center for the second and penultimate day of preparation for the match against Internacional, scheduled for Friday. For the match, coach Fernando Diniz will have two new absences to manage for the Cruzmaltino lineup. On the other hand, Philippe Coutinho will return.

How the training went

The athletes began the activities with a warm-up and physical exercises inside the training center. Then they moved to the field for passing and interception exercises in a reduced space.

Absences

For the match, David and Tchê Tchê join the list of absences for the Rio team. The forward was sent off in the last round, while the midfielder received his third yellow card. Therefore, both will serve suspensions against Internacional.

In addition to them, Adson, Jair, Garré, and Victor Luís remain in the club's medical department and are also unavailable for Diniz.

Return

Suspended in the defeat against Bahia last Sunday, Philippe Coutinho will be available to face Colorado.

Standings situation

In 13th place with 42 points, Vasco has four consecutive defeats and needs to find their way back to winning. With the negative streak, the team has seen the relegation zone approach and needs to react to avoid entering a direct fight against the Z4 in this final stretch of the competition.
