Santos face derby and no rest, chasing comeback in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Santos has already started the week of preparation for the clássico against Corinthians, scheduled for Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. After reporting back to training on Sunday, the squad continues with an intense program, focusing on tactical and physical adjustments before the clash with Timão.

Juan Pablo Vojvoda’s coaching staff organized the training sessions to balance physical load and player recovery, considering the squad’s conditions and absences. Mayke, Gabriel Bontempo, and Victor Hugo have resumed full training with the ball. The expectation is that all three will be available for the clássico against Corinthians.

Tomás Rincón, meanwhile, with edema in his left calf, and Neymar, still in recovery, remain in the medical department.

The schedule begins on Monday, with reporting at 9 a.m. and training at 10 a.m. at the CT Rei Pelé, and continues on Tuesday, with reporting at 3 p.m. and training at 4 p.m., also at the training center.

After Wednesday’s Clássico Alvinegro, the squad returns to work focusing on recovery and physical adjustments.
