Coach Fabio Carrell will not have Injured Leo Baptistao in a game Santos against Sport, on Sunday, at 20:30 (GMT), but it welcomed the boy Marcos Leonardo on Friday.

A promise from Santos, Marcos Leonardo was with the Brazilian Under-18 team for a training period at Granja Comary. On Friday, the forward was brought back into the Pixie squad and trained normally at CT Ray Pele with his teammates.

Who can also play 90 minutes for Santos is striker Diego Tardelli. Although not chosen by Fábio Carille to replace Léo Baptistão in the 3-1 defeat to Atlético-MG, the experienced striker is 100% physically fit and can play a full match. It is also an option to face sports.
