In addition to the loss to Santos on Wednesday night, Atlético-MG had another negative aspect in Vila Belmiro’s game. Coach Jorge Sampaoli is suspended with the third yellow card, and also lost goalkeeper Rafael and midfielder Jair for the next match. The three are suspended in the duel against Bragantino, next Sunday, in Mineirão.
Rafael, the only player present in Sampaoli’s 15 games ahead of Atlético, received a red card after 15 minutes of play in Vila, when he left the goal to clear the wrong retreat of Mariano, intercepted by Marinho. The white jersey 32 hit the attacking sprinter and the red one was applied directly to him. He will continue to be tried by the STJD.

Shortly after, midfielder Jair was booked by the referee with a yellow card. It was his third, who entered the field hanging. Now, he is suspended and will play the automatic penalty match against Bragantino. Sampaoli will not be able to be on the bench in the next round, in Mineirão, as he was also yellowed for the third time. The physical trainer Pablo Fernández received the red after confusion with the Santos bench.

Without Jair, the tendency is for Sampaoli to climb further behind Alan Franco, as the natural substitute, Léo Sena, has not been used. In addition, Gustavo Blanco, although he trained normally, was not listed by the Argentine. For Rafael’s position, the trend is that Everson, if it is regularized on Friday, will debut. Victor, due to two-goal failures by Santos, should be even further out of the plans.
There are two absolute Sampaoli starters who will miss the Gallo, who suffers the first casualties in the Brasileirão due to indiscipline. On the other hand, there is the expectation, created by Nathan, that the offensive midfielder will return to the team after a month of treatment for a thigh injury.
The player was a vital part of Sampaoli’s scheme and has not been on the field since Galo’s win over Corinthians on August 12. He was knocked out in eight games, including the final of the Mineiro Championship.
