Vasco wrap up preparations to face Bahia in the Brasileiro | OneFootball

On this Tuesday, Vasco held its last training at CT Moacyr Barbosa before the clash against Bahia, this Wednesday, for the Brazilian Championship. For this match, coach Fernando Diniz will be forced to make changes to the team after losing key players in the club's last duel.

Starters out

Last Sunday, during the classic against Flamengo, the defender Robert-Renan suffered a concussion and had to be replaced. FIFA's protocol requires the athlete who suffered the shock to refrain from physical activities for at least five days, therefore, the defender will not be available for Vasco against Bahia.

In addition to him, forward Rayan will also not be part of the squad facing the Salvador team. The author of the equalizing goal against Flamengo, the striker received his third yellow card and will serve a suspension.

On the other hand, Lucas Freitas returns to the team after suspension and strengthens the defensive sector of Fernando Diniz.

Situation in the table

With 24 points and in 16th place in the Brasileirão, Vasco needs to win to distance itself from the relegation zone. The victory would not only give the team some relief in the championship, but would also extend Cruzmaltino's unbeaten run to six games.

Vasco and Bahia will face each other this Wednesday, in a rescheduled match from the 16th round of the Brasileirão. The ball rolls at 7:30 PM (Brasília time), at the São Januário stadium.
