O Santos ended this Friday morning, at CT Rei Pelé, the preparation to face América-MG this Saturday, at 7 pm, at Independência Stadium, for the ninth round of the Brazilian Championship.
Coach Fernando Diniz will not have John, in the final stages of recovery from a sprained right knee. Alison, in the process of physical reconditioning, is out, as well as Kaio Jorge.
The center forward will undergo a “load control” over the weekend to minimize the risk of injury. Marinho, suspended in a 0-0 draw with Sport in Vila Belmiro, returns to the starting lineup.
The likely lineup is: João Paulo, Pará, Luiz Felipe, Luan Peres and Felipe Jonatan; Camacho, Jean Mota and Gabriel Pirani; Marinho, Marcos Guilherme and Marcos Leonardo (Carlos Sánchez or Lucas Braga).
Santos is seventh in the Brazilian Championship, with 12 points, and is seeking their first victory as a visitor.
