Midfielder Toró missed the last round of matches against Atlético-PR due to a suspension resulting from a third yellow card. On Sunday, against Santos at Vila Belmiro, the number 21 is guaranteed a return to the Flamengo midfield. The player is aware of the challenges of facing the São Paulo team at home, but is confident of a good result for Flamengo.

"It's going to be a good game, very competitive. It's always difficult to face Santos at Vila Belmiro, especially in this situation they're in. They're struggling, and the pressure from the fans can be a hindrance. Santos is a great team, and there's nothing better than getting a win playing at their home ground. We have the ability to come away with a good result."

Toró praised the strength of his midfield teammates, Jailton, Ibson and Cristian.

"Our midfield is very strong. We help with the marking and get forward. We're going to work hard this week to be prepared on Sunday."
