Escobar picks up third yellow, set to miss out for Santos | OneFootball

Santos will not be able to count on Gonzalo Escobar for the next match of the Brazilian Championship. The left-back received his third yellow card this Sunday, during the 1-0 victory over São Paulo in the 24th round.

The Argentine was booked at the 34th minute of the second half for a hard foul on Maílton.

As a result, Escobar will not be available to coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda for the clash against Red Bull Bragantino next Sunday, away from home.

The main candidate to start is the young Souza, who has lost space since the arrival of the new coach.
