Before the interseason friendly with União São João, on July 4, Menino da Vila had asked to be called Juninho.
Just over ten days after this request, the athlete changed his mind and asked to be called Robinho Jr again.
The striker is one of the 21 players that coach Cuca has listed for the Brazilian Championship resumption clash, scheduled for 7:30 pm (Brasília time), at the Nilton Santos Stadium, for the 19th round.
CUCA HAS IMPORTANT MISSINGS
Peixe's main absences for this match are striker Neymar, who will return to CT Rei Pelé next Friday (17), and center forward Gabigol, who is serving a suspension for the red card received against Vitória, in Vila Belmiro, after making obscene gestures towards a fan of the club itself.
In addition to the duo, Cuca will also be without midfielder João Schmidt. The midfielder felt discomfort in the region of his right thigh and was banned from the trip to Rio de Janeiro by the medical department.
On the other hand, the main novelty on the list is the presence of young Nadson, who, like Vinícius Fabri, greatly pleased the professional squad's technical committee during the interseason.
SANTOS RELATED PEOPLE:
Goalkeepers: Brazão and DiógenesLaters: Igor Vinícius, Gabriel Menino and EscobarDefenders: Lucas Veríssimo, Luan Peres, João Ananias, Gustavo Henrique and Adonis FríasMidfielders: Willian Arão, Thaciano, Christian Oliva, Miguelito, Rollheiser, Gabriel Bontempo and Samuel PierriForwards: Robinho Jr, Rony, Barreal and Nadson
IGOR VINÍCIUS AND BONTEMPO SHOULD START ON THE BANK
Despite being part of the delegation that traveled to Rio, right-back Igor Vinícius and attacking midfielder Gabriel Bontempo still do not have ideal physical conditions and should start the confrontation on the bench.
Igor is in the final phase of his physical transition after suffering a broken foot, while Bontempo continues to undergo treatment for pubic pain.
