Santos is ready for the classic match against Palmeiras. Peixe finished their preparations for the game this Tuesday and had some news: Zé Rafael, having recovered from a case of conjunctivitis, trained normally with the squad at CT Rei Pelé and could be available to Juan Pablo Vojvoda. 

In addition, Santos updated the status of other players in the squad. Midfielder Gabriel Bontempo felt pain in his left thigh during Monday's training. After medical exams, the player was diagnosed with a muscle edema in the posterior region and will be out for the Clássico da Saudade.   

Forward Tiquinho Soares, meanwhile, is still treating a muscle edema in his left calf and will also be absent. Meanwhile, attacking midfielder Barreal had his name published in the BID and was registered for the Paulistão. The Argentine, therefore, strengthens the black-and-white team.

Probable Santos Lineup

The probable Santos lineup is: Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinícius, Adonis Frías, Zé Ivaldo and Escobar; Willian Arão, João Schmidt (Zé Rafael) and Rollheiser, Barreal, Lautaro Díaz and Gabigol.
