Benjamín Rollheiser has returned from a muscular injury and is ready to start for Santos in their crucial match against Deportivo Cuenca. This match, part of the Copa Sudamericana, will take place on Tuesday at 21:30 Brasília time in Vila Belmiro.
Cuca Reintegrates Rollheiser for Santos’ Crucial Match
The latest from the team indicates that Christian Oliva has trained without limitations and will also be included in the squad. While Santos can no longer finish first in their group, a victory in this match would significantly enhance their chances of reaching the Copa Sudamericana playoffs.
Team Updates and Players Missing
Coach Cuca faces a few challenges ahead of this important game. The central defender Lucas Veríssimo is suspended after receiving his third yellow card. Forward Álvaro Barreal will return to the starting lineup after missing the loss to Grêmio.
One significant absentee is Neymar, who is out due to a calf edema. He has been called up by Brazil for the World Cup, with his debut scheduled for May 27. Currently, Neymar is training indoors with physiotherapists and in the gym, and he will not play for Santos again this semester. The club anticipates his return after the tournament in the United States.
