Santos get double break, return Wednesday to start work during FIFA dates | OneFootball

The Santos squad was given a double break after the goalless draw against Fluminense on Sunday – the team's last match before the start of the FIFA break. Therefore, the Santos players were given Monday and Tuesday off to rest.

The Santos athletes will use these days off to recover their energy for the continuation of the championship. It’s worth noting that these days off had already been scheduled in the Santos squad’s calendar, regardless of the result of the match against Fluminense.

Santos’ return to training is set for this Wednesday at the CT Rei Pelé. Coach Juan Pablo Vojvoda will have a long period to work with the team, the longest since his arrival. There will be just over 10 days of preparation.

The Santos squad will thus begin preparations for the match against Atlético-MG. The game is scheduled for next September 14 (a Sunday), at 4pm (Brasília time), at Arena MRV, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship.

For this match, Vojvoda will have a significant absence. Midfielder Rollheiser received his third yellow card in the match against Fluminense and will have to serve a suspension. On the other hand, the coach is trying to recover Arão and Basso.

Santos has not won in three rounds in the Brazilian Championship, with two losses and a draw, and is seeking recovery. The Peixe is still threatened by relegation and has dropped to 16th place, with 22 points – the same as Vitória, who are just above the relegation zone.
