He missed recent matches while undergoing treatment at CT Rei Pelé. Before the setback he was competing for a midfield place and was among Cuca’s options.

The No 48 returns at a useful moment for Santos, who have just got back to winning in the Campeonato Brasileiro and now focus on Couto Pereira.

The first leg at Vila Belmiro finished 0-0. The winners in Paraná advance to the next round, another draw means penalties.
