Argentine Julio Furch tends to be available to Santos for the Paulistão final, next Sunday, at 6pm, at Allianz Parque. The center forward has intensified his physiotherapy work and accepts the “sacrifice” of shortening his recovery time to play one of the most important games of the year.

Furch has tendinitis, and the inflammatory process has also spread from the tendon to the adductor muscle of his left thigh. If it were a “common” game on Sunday, the player would certainly be out of the plans, as the ideal recovery time is around a week to 15 days.
There is a consensus among physiotherapy, the coaching staff and the player himself about its importance. Thus, the general desire is that the athlete can be used. Furch is a starter with Fábio Carille and fulfills an important tactical role, attracting marking and opening spaces for the team to play on the wings.
Furch’s immediate replacement is Morelos. The Colombian, however, has not been pleased with his appearances on the field. Against Palmeiras, like Cazares, he played a game below expectations, clashing with the rest of the team, who won the game with a lot of physical and tactical dedication.
If the commission’s performance and assessment differ, on the field, the duo’s numbers are similar. Furch has 12 games and three goals scored. Morelos has 10 games, two goals and one assist.
