Santos: Vojvoda focuses on set-pieces ahead of Corinthians clash | OneFootball

Santos finished their preparations this Tuesday for the derby against Corinthians. The match is scheduled for this Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Vila Belmiro, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda outlined the lineup in a tactical training session and worked on set pieces.

The coach is expected to have two important returns against Timão. Midfielder Victor Hugo has recovered from an injury to the adductor muscle in his right thigh and should be included in the squad. The player trained normally.

Another player likely to be available is right-back Mayke. He has recovered from inflammation in his right knee, which kept him out of the match against Ceará.

On the other hand, the Argentine coach will continue to be without Neymar, who is recovering from an injury to the rectus femoris muscle in his right thigh. Midfielder Tomás Rincón, with swelling in his left calf, is also expected to miss out for Peixe. Tiquinho Soares, who is suspended, completes the list of absences.

Probable Santos lineup

Thus, a possible Santos lineup is: Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinícius, Adonis Frías, Luan Peres, and Escobar; João Schmidt, Zé Rafael, Gabriel Bontempo (Barreal), and Rollheiser; Guilherme and Lautaro Díaz.
