Coritiba's Mystery Regarding Josué's Situation for the Match Against Goiás
Coritiba is maintaining secrecy about the presence of midfielder Josué in the clash against Goiás, for the 26th round of the Brazilian Série B Championship, which takes place this Friday (12th), at 9:30 PM, at Couto Pereira stadium, in Curitiba. The club chose not to release the squad list on the eve of the match, awaiting a final evaluation of the player, who left the field limping last week and with ice on his thigh.
Josué's Probable Absence and His Importance to the Team
Despite the mystery, the number 10 is likely to be out of the match, information initially reported by Rogério Scarione and confirmed by UmDois Esportes. According to Fernando Ribeiro, ESPN and Disney+ commentator, Josué is already considered one of the best in the competition, with five goals and three assists in 23 games, being the team's top scorer and assist provider. 'Josué, inevitably, would be in my Série B team of the season,' stated Ribeiro.
Carlos de Pena Named as Probable Substitute
As Josué's probable substitute, Fefux highlights Carlos de Pena, praising his ability to be more mobile, despite Josué being considered more lethal with the ball at his feet. Fefux expresses admiration for De Pena, emphasizing his value in necessary moments, even without the same lethality as the Portuguese player.
