Santos return to training, begin preparations for derby against Corinthians | OneFootball

After two days off, the cast of Santos returned to CT Rei Pelé this Wednesday. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda is preparing the team for the classic against Corinthians, for the 28th round of the Brazilian Championship.

Defender Alexis Duarte was absent, as he is with the Paraguay national team. He will represent the country in two friendlies on the Fifa date and, therefore, will not be available against Timão. The Paraguayan team faces South Korea on the 14th, the eve of the classic, at 8 am, in Seoul.

Vojvoda will also not be able to count on Tiquinho Soares against Corinthians. The center forward is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Mayke, on the other hand, is doubtful. The right back was absent against Ceará due to a right knee inflammation.

In compensation, Victor Hugo should be a new addition. The midfielder is in transition with physiotherapy after suffering a muscle injury.

And Neymar?

Neymar remains out. The attacking midfielder is recovering from a right thigh rectus femoris muscle injury. Santos does not set a return date. During the squad's break, the star underwent physical training in a private gym.

Santos' Schedule

The squad returns to training on Friday morning, at CT Rei Pelé.
