Gabigol trains with the squad and could bolster Santos against Flamengo | OneFootball

What happened to Gabigol in training this Friday (03)?

Santos face Flamengo this Sunday (05) in the tenth round of the Brasileirão. For the match, coach Cuca is expected to have Gabigol back, as he had been sidelined with a right calf injury.

Gabigol showed progress in his recovery and therefore trained normally with his teammates this Friday (03) at CT Rei Pelé. As a result, expectations are growing to find out the striker’s real clinical and physical condition.

It is important to note that, in addition to Friday’s session (03), the Santos squad will hold one final training session before traveling to Rio de Janeiro on Saturday morning (04). It will be in that session, in fact, that Cuca will decide whether to include Gabigol in the squad for the match against Flamengo.

DO SANTOS HAVE CONFIRMED ABSENCES FOR THE GAME AGAINST FLAMENGO?

While Gabigol remains a question mark, coach Cuca already knows he will be unable to count on Neymar, who received his third yellow card in the last round against Remo. In addition to the No. 10, forward Rony is also out due to an automatic suspension.

HOW ARE FLAMENGO LOOKING AHEAD OF THE GAME AGAINST SANTOS?

Flamengo will be looking for a quick response in the league, having come off a 3-0 defeat to Bragantino. For the match, Erick Pulgar is a confirmed absentee after being sent off in the last round.

Meanwhile, Saúl Ñíguez remains unavailable as he continues his recovery from surgery on his left heel. Finally, Bruno Henrique (pubalgia) and Alex Sandro (muscle injury) are listed as doubts.
