Santos has the Copa Sudamericana ahead of them and will not be able to count on Léo Baptistão for the confrontation this Wednesday, 29, at 21:30 (Brasilia time), in Venezuela; check out!
O saints wont have Leo Baptistão atCopa Sudamericana and Fabian Bustos will have to find an ideal replacement for the player. The striker is one of the team’s main highlights in the 2022 season and will be missed as an attacking duo for Marcos Leonardo for the game this Wednesday, 29, at 21:30 (Brasília time), against Deportivo Táchira, Venezuela.
Léo Baptistão assumed a prominent role in the team, especially during the last absences of Marcos Leonardo. The striker always tries to stay close to his teammate to try plays and the role has been important for Santos’ offensive creation. However, as he is suspended, he will not be able to play the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
A great option for the starting lineup is Ricardo Goulart. Hired to be the main name of the squad in the 2022 season, the midfielder has not yet found his best physical shape with the Santos shirt and is also experiencing a moment of irregularity. He lost space with Fabián Bustos, but could be an alternative with the absence of Léo Baptistão.
Another possibility is the entry of Rwan Seco. The boy is one of the grateful revelations for the 2022 season and is increasingly looking for his place in the cast of Fabián Bustos. Jhojan Julio, much criticized by the Santos fans, is also one of those quoted to take the place of Léo Baptistão, in addition to the sequence of Lucas Braga as the holder of the alvinegra team.
Even with the absence of Léo Baptistão, Fabián Bustos will gain two important reinforcements for the Copa Sudamericana. The coach will face the return of Vinícius Zanocelo and also João Paulo. The two were suspended in the match last Saturday, 24, at the Brasileirão, but will regain their chances against Deportivo Táchira, for the round of 16 of the continental competition.
A probable lineup for Santos for the match is: John Paul; Auro, Kaiky (Velázquez), Eduardo Bauermann and Felipe Jonatan (Lucas Pires); Vinícius Zanocelo and Rodrigo Fernández; Ângelo, Jhojan Julio (Ricardo Goulart or Rwan Seco) and Lucas Braga; Marcos Leonardo.
