Head coach Cuca is focused on integrating players back into the squad, including Benjamín Rollheiser, who returned from illness, and Álvaro Barreal, who is closer to returning from injury. Willian Arão’s participation is uncertain as he continues treatment for abdominal pain. Santos will resume training Saturday morning.
