Santos start Thaciano, new signing on bench v Athletico-PR, line-ups | OneFootball

Santos and Athletico-PR have set their lineups for Thursday’s match at Arena da Baixada, for the third round of the Brazilian Championship. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda has named Thaciano as a starter.

The forward takes Gabigol’s spot, as Gabigol was rested since the match will be played on synthetic turf. The same reason kept Neymar out. The attacking midfielder is expected to make his debut only on Sunday, against Velo Clube.

Thus, Peixe will have: Gabriel Brazão; Igor Vinícius, Zé Ivaldo, Luan Peres, and Vini Lira; João Schmidt, Gabriel Menino, and Gabriel Bontempo; Miguelito, Thaciano, and Rony.

In addition to the absences of Neymar and Gabigol, Adonis Frías (muscle injury in the right calf), Willian Arão (surgery to remove a kidney stone), and Zé Rafael (patellar tendinitis) are in the medical department.

Meanwhile, Moisés, a forward recently announced by Santos, is on the bench.

On the other side, Athletico-PR, coached by Odair Hellmann, will have: Santos, Terán, Arthur Dias, and Esquivel; Benavídez, Portilla, Zapelli, and Léo Derik; Mendoza, Julimar, and Viveros.

The ball will roll on the Arena da Baixada pitch starting at 7 p.m. (Brasília time).
