O Santos não terá Álvaro Barreal na 35ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro, contra o Coritiba. O argentino recebeu o terceiro amarelo na derrota de 2 a 1 para o Bragantino, em Bragança Paulista, nesta segunda-feira (2 de novembro), e terá de cumprir suspensão automática.
Barreal entrou em campo já pendurado e foi advertido pela árbitra Edina Alves Batista. A ausência obriga o técnico Cuca a mexer no time para o duelo no Couto Pereira, marcado para a quarta-feira, dia 18 de novembro, às 19h30 no horário de Brasília. O substituto deve ser definido ao longo da preparação.
Dez jogadores do Santos chegaram a esse confronto com dois cartões amarelos. Além de Barreal, a lista tinha Gabigol, Christian Oliva, Gustavo Henrique, Gabriel Menino, Rollheiser, Thaciano, João Paulo, Lucas Veríssimo e Escobar. No caso de Barreal, o cartão veio na primeira rodada depois da pausa para a Data Fifa e confirmou o desfalque.
Em Bragança Paulista, Rodinei marcou contra e abriu o placar para o time da casa; Philippe Coutinho deixou tudo igual para o Santos; e Wallace Yan fez o segundo dos mandantes ainda antes do intervalo. Barreal começou entre os titulares e saiu para a entrada de Rafael Gonzaga.
Agora o elenco tem um intervalo sem partidas até o compromisso no Paraná, tempo que Cuca usará para ajustar a formação. Depois do Coritiba, o adversário é o Grêmio, em casa, pela 36ª rodada, quando Barreal já poderá ficar à disposição.
