Santos wrapped up their preparation to face Bahia in the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship. The squad held their last training session on Saturday at the CT Rei Pelé.
Assistant coach Matheus Bachi led the activity and will be on the bench at Arena Fonte Nova on Sunday. Recently announced, Vojvoda has not yet made his debut.
Santos will have some important absences. Neymar is suspended and Guilherme was left out of the trip. The striker is shaken after being heavily criticized by fans who invaded the training center last Tuesday. Defender Gil will also not play, as he is negotiating his contract termination.
Meanwhile, defender João Basso and midfielder Willian Arão are in transition and remain sidelined.
Thus, a possible lineup could be: Brazão; Mayke, Luisão, Luan Peres, and Souza; Rincón, Gabriel Bontempo, and Rollheiser; Caballero, Tiquinho Soares, and Barreal.
The match against Bahia is scheduled for Sunday at 4 pm (Brasília time) at Fonte Nova in Salvador.
Santos is currently in 15th place in the Brazilian Championship, with 21 points, two more than Vitória, the first team inside the relegation zone.
