With Mendoza’s vacancy open, Lucas Barbosa tries to regain space at Santos


Lucas Braga and Daniel Ruiz are also looking for space in the club’s starting lineup

Santos is looking for an offensive alternative for the duel against Vasco, for the 6th round of the Brasileirão. Without being able to count on Mendoza, who has edema in his right thigh, Peixe analyzes the options for the sector.

In the contention for the vacant post, Lucas Braga, Daniel Ruiz and Lucas Barbosa, who has recently recovered from his injury, are the possible choices for coach Odair Hellmann.

Lucas Braga seems to be strong in the fight for position, as he was chosen by the coach to replace Mendoza in the match against Bahia.

Also in contention, Lucas Barbosa is looking to gain attacking opportunities again after recovering from injury. When he was injured, he was winning consecutive chances in the starting eleven of the Santos commander.

Finally, Daniel Ruiz is another candidate for the vacancy. Having been picked to play for the side of the field during the season, the Colombian is another option for Odair.

Doubt still lingers in the last stretch of preparation for the match. Santos faces Vasco in a duel that will take place next Sunday (14), at 16 (Brasilia time), in São Januário.
