Santos duo return from injury, Vojvoda boosted vs Vitória | OneFootball

Santos continues their preparation to face Vitória in the 29th round of the Brazilian Championship. This Friday, coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda led a tactical training session at the Rei Pelé Training Center.

The press followed around 15 minutes of the activity. Only the warm-up was open. After that, the gates were closed for the tactical training.

Vojvoda had two new developments this morning. Tomás Rincón and Thaciano, absences in the 3–1 win over Corinthians, took part in the training session. The defensive midfielder has recovered from a muscle edema in his left calf. The attacking midfielder, meanwhile, had been dealing with ankle discomfort.

Alexis Duarte also trained as normal. The center-back reported back last Thursday after serving the Paraguayan national team during the FIFA window. Therefore, he is available to Vojvoda for the clash.

Santos absences

Santos have two confirmed absences for the game against Vitória. Neymar continues to recover from a rectus femoris injury in his right thigh. The attacking midfielder even appeared on the pitch this Friday, but only took part in the squad’s huddle with Vojvoda and then went to the gym.

João Schmidt, in turn, is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Santos’ position in the table

Santos are in 16th place with 31 points, three more than Vitória, who top the relegation zone.
