Vasco are expected to field Andrey in the match against Goiás on the 22nd in São Januário. The defensive midfielder was treated for knee pain even when he was off duty and trained this Wednesday at head coach Moacyr Barbosa. With that he took the lead to replace Jair, who was suspended for three yellow cards. Furthermore, by making himself available, Andrey would solve a problem caused by being mistreated in the defeat against Internacional last Sunday. After all, his absence caused discomfort in football sectors of the club.
All because the number 22’s loan contract with Vasco is about to expire. However, he will go to Chelsea after the end of the month. As soon as he showed up for the Brazilian national team for the under-20 World Cup, in early May, his lawyers sued SAF Cruz-Maltina, for a debt in the transfer of the percentage of the player’s staff in addition to the sale to the English. At the time, the club had repeatedly failed to pay at least two of the installments envisaged in the agreement. The total amount is equal to R$ 12 million.
Thus, after Brazil’s elimination from the competition, when Andrey and Marlon Gomes returned to Vasco, the expectation was that the former would no longer be used, given the climate off the pitch and the pressure due to the team’s bad phase. At first, the steering wheel reported pain in his ankle, but he has been training on the field. Then, on the eve of the away report, he claimed a knee injury.
In case coach Maurício Barbieri chooses him, the youngster will meet the public again. Therefore, the trend is for the midfield to consist of Mateus Carvalho, Andrey and Marlon Gomes. By way of comparison, this is a 100% change from most of Vasco’s recent matches in the Brasileirão, as Rodrigo, Jair and Galarza have formed the sector multiple times.
The team will also be absent Robson (suspended) and Capasso (thigh injury). Absent against Colorado, full-back Paulo Henrique, midfielder Carabajal and forwards Orellano and Eguinaldo are recovered and close to being released to train with the squad.
