After derby win, Santos back in training and shift focus to Mirassol | OneFootball

Santos returned to training on Sunday morning at CT Rei Pelé, after the 1-0 victory over Palmeiras at Vila Belmiro. The team has already shifted its focus and started preparations for the match against Mirassol, valid for the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Santos and Mirassol face each other this Wednesday, at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Vila Belmiro.

How was the training?

As usual, the players who started the derby followed a recovery schedule in the gym. Meanwhile, the other athletes went out to the pitch for a technical and tactical training session on a reduced field.

Absences and returns

Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda should have only one absence for the next match: defender Alexis Duarte, who remains with the Paraguayan national team for the FIFA international friendlies.

On the other hand, the tendency is that the coach will once again be able to count on Luan Peres. In the defeat to Flamengo, the defender had to be substituted after a head collision, which forced Santos to activate the concussion protocol.

The protocol requires the athlete to be kept off the field for at least five days. As a result, the player only returned to activities at CT Rei Pelé on Friday, the day before the derby, leading Vojvoda to choose to preserve him and leave him out of the match.

The expectation, however, is that Luan will be available for the next game, against Mirassol.

Standings situation

With the result, Peixe jumps to 16th place and pushes Vitória into the relegation zone (Z4). The Alvinegro Praiano now has 36 points, one more than Leão.
