As if Vasco’s week wasn’t already tumultuous enough, the Rio club also lost its main player for the first game of the national competition. The delegation left for Fortaleza on Tuesday afternoon (30) and the Frenchman remained in Rio de Janeiro.
According to Vasco’s statement, the Frenchman “will continue with performance work, in accordance with the schedule pre-established by DESP”, after suffering a sprain in the medial collateral ligament of his right knee, at the beginning of this month. The player played during the first 45 minutes in the defeat to Criciúma in the Brasileirão.
With the departure of Ramón Díaz, Rafael Paiva, former under-20 coach, will lead the team from the sidelines and should see some changes in the lineup.
With the Frenchman’s absence, Galdames must return to the starting lineup to perform his role. Another novelty among those listed is the presence of base midfielder Guilherme Estrella, Copa Rio under-20 champion in the 4-1 victory over Flamengo last Sunday.
In addition to Dimitri Payet, Cruz-Maltino will also be without defender João Victor, sent off in the second phase of the competition, when Vasco beat Água Santa. Therefore, Rafael Paiva outlined the defense with Robert Rojas, Maicon and Léo.
