Peixe is preparing for a match that could take him to 45 points.
Aiming for the duel against Botafogo, for the Brazilian championship, Santos resumed activities at CT Rei Pelé this Thursday (16th). The challenge will only take place on the 26th (Sunday), as the championship has been suspended due to the FIFA Date.
After the draw against Sao Paulo, in the last round, the Santos team had received three days of rest, leaving another nine to prepare for the match against the Rio de Janeiro club, valid for the 35th round and will take place at Nilton Santos , in Rio, in January.

Although injuries worry Peixe commander Marcelo Fernandes, two important names could return to action this season: left-back Dodô and defender João Basso.
Due to knee pain, the full-back has been absent from Santos in recent matches and continues to train separately from the rest of the group. Although small, there is still a chance that Dodô will face Botafogo as he continues the transition process to return to work.
Basso, however, is out of the next round. The defender’s recovery from the thigh injury occurred faster than expected, but Peixe does not intend to speed up this process. Consequently, the defender should return to play for Alvinegro Praiano only in the last round, against Fortaleza.
With these possibilities, Marcelo Fernandes should choose Santos like this for the match against Botafogo: João Paulo; Messiah, Joaquim and Dodô; Lucas Braga, Tomás Rincón, Jean Lucas, Lucas Lima and Kevyson; Soteldo and Marcos Leonardo.
