Vasco boosted by reinforcements to face Vitória | OneFootball

Vasco received important updates during the training session held this Friday (03) at the Moacyr Barbosa Training Center. Defender Carlos Cuesta and left-back Lucas Piton participated in on-field activities and are progressing well in their recovery process.

Despite their presence, Cuesta's participation against Vitória this Sunday at São Januário is still uncertain. The Colombian defender suffered a muscle injury in the left thigh adductor during the match against Cruzeiro and missed the defeat to Palmeiras. The tendency is for him to be preserved by Fernando Diniz, aiming for the match against Fortaleza on the 15th, after the FIFA Date.

On the other hand, Lucas Piton shows good physical progress and has a higher chance of being included. Another player who might return to the list is Matheus França, who trained without restrictions after recovering from a sprained right ankle.

Diniz will also have the return of Barros, who served a suspension in the last match. If Cuesta does not play, Hugo Moura is expected to be moved back to defense, with Barros reclaiming his spot in midfield alongside Tchê Tchê.

The probable Vasco lineup includes: Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Hugo Moura (Cuesta), Robert Renan, Puma Rodríguez; Barros, Tchê Tchê, Coutinho; Nuno Moreira, Rayan, and Vegetti.
