Santos ready to face Red Bull Bragantino, likely line-up revealed | OneFootball

Santos wrapped up preparations for the match against Red Bull Bragantino on Saturday morning at the CT Rei Pelé. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda, who is dealing with a long list of absences, made the final adjustments for the game, which is valid for the 25th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Among the absences, the most recent is defender Adonis Frías. This morning, the player felt discomfort in his right calf and will be kept out of the match.

The Argentine coach was already unable to count on Neymar, who is recovering from a rectus femoris muscle injury in his right thigh, as well as midfielders Gabriel Bontempo and Victor Hugo, who are also out with muscle injuries. Escobar, suspended, is also unavailable for the team from the coast.

On the other hand, Vojvoda will have full-back Igor Vinícius and defender Zé Ivaldo available again. Both were suspended and missed Santos' derby against São Paulo. Willian Arão, recovered from a calf injury, also returns.

Finally, the latest reinforcement for the match is forward Billal Brahimi. The Algerian had his registration regularized in the BID (Daily Information Bulletin) and is eligible to make his debut.
