With a Covid-19 outbreak in place, Santos has more than one embezzlement team on the eve of the game against Inter, this Saturday, at 4:30 p.m. (Brasilia), in VIla Belmiro.

This Friday, the club’s sports superintendent, Felipe Ximenes, and the head of the medical department, Ricardo Galotti, will hold a press conference to discuss the cases – the club does not rule out asking for the game to be postponed.

The impact of Covid-19 on Santos

Santos lost the main goalkeeper, in addition to five regular-line players and “two” coaches. Cuca, hospitalized since Saturday, and assistant Cuquinha, who had been in charge of the team in the absence of his brother.

It is unclear who will lead the team if there is a game: the most likely option is the physical trainer Omar Feitosa, from the Cuca technical committee.

In the field, the most affected sectors were the defense, with the losses of João Paulo, Madson and Lucas Veríssimo, and especially the midfield, with the three holders of the position, Diego Pituca, Jobson and Jean Mota, infected. Alison and Sandry, recurring options for the medium, were also isolated because of the coronavirus.

The attack was the only sector that did not have positive cases of the disease, but it also has embezzlement …

See the list of those infected with the coronavirus:

  • Alison (steering wheel);
  • Alex (defense);
  • João Paulo (goalkeeper);
  • Lucas Veríssimo (defense);
  • Jobson (flyer);
  • Diego Pituca (steering wheel);
  • Sandry (fly);
  • Jean Mota (midfielder);
  • Madson (right back);
  • Vladimir (goalkeeper);
  • Cuca (technical);
  • Cuquinha (Cuca’s assistant, who had been in charge of the team);
  • Eudes Pedro (Cuca’s assistant);
  • Arzul (goalkeeping coach).

Without counting the embezzlement by the coronavirus, Santos will not have Soteldo, the absolute owner, at his disposal. The forward meets the Venezuelan national team for the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.

Other casualties, these for an indefinite time, are those of Carlos Sánchez, Raniel, Renyer and Vladimir, all recovering from an operation.

Ângelo, recently promoted by Cuca, is in training with the Brazilian under-17 team until Friday, the eve of the match against Inter.
