Santos return to training, begin preparations to face Botafogo | OneFootball

Santos returned to the CT Rei Pelé this Wednesday. Now, the team is preparing to face Botafogo in the 30th round of the Brazilian Championship. The match will be on Sunday at 4 PM (Brasília time) at Nilton Santos Stadium in Rio de Janeiro (RJ).

For this match, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will not be able to count on Zé Rafael, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

On the other hand, Tomás Rincón might return. The midfielder is transitioning after suffering a muscle edema in his left calf.

How was the training?

The players who played more than 45 minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Vitória last Monday only did a regenerative workout. The rest trained normally on the field of CT Rei Pelé under Vojvoda's command.

And Neymar?

Neymar remains an absence for Santos. The attacking midfielder is still treating an injury to the rectus femoris muscle of his right thigh.

Santos' Position in the Table

Santos is in the 16th position, with 31 points – the same amount as Vitória, which opens the relegation zone. Despite having one game less, Peixe will not have an easy time and will need to accumulate points in the final stretch of the Brasileirão to avoid relegation for the second time.
