The news for the duel should be the return of Pedrinho. After deciding in favor of Santos the debut game in the second division, the striker was left out of the next match due to pubalgia. After training without limitations throughout the week, the match should begin on the bench.
The starter is JP Chermont. The young full-back occupies the vacancy left by Aderlan, who underwent surgery on his right hand, in the region of his little finger, to correct a fracture, and still works separately from the group. This Saturday’s technical training included finishing and passing exercises.
A likely Santos has: João Paulo; JP Chermont, Gil, Joaquim and Escobar; João Schmidt, Diego Pituca and Giuliano; Otero, Morelos and Guilherme.
Reinforcements available?
While Escobar is expected to play his second game as a starter for the team, Patrick and Serginho still have their participation in the match in doubt. Both can be included by Carille for the game and gain some minutes on the field. The list should be released this Sunday.
