Gustavo Henrique Vernes (born 24 March 1993), known as Gustavo Henrique, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Santos, as a central defender.
Club career
Santos
Born in São Paulo, Gustavo Henrique graduated with Santos’ academy, and made his first team – and Série A – debut on 17 June 2012, in a 0–1 away loss against Flamengo. He scored his first goal on 24 July of the following year, in a 2–0 away win against CRAC for the season’s Copa do Brasil.
In mid-September 2013, Gustavo Henrique replaced Durval in the starting eleven, after the latter was deemed suplus to requirements. He scored his first league goal on 27 October, in a 1–1 away draw against Corinthians. Roughly a month later he scored his second, in a 2–2 away draw against Vasco da Gama.
In late February 2014, Gustavo Henrique suffered a knee injury, being sidelined for six months. He returned to action in October, but was only selected on the bench in the remainder of the season.
Gustavo Henrique played his first match after his injury on 1 February 2015, starting in a 3–0 home win against Ituano. In August, after the arrival of new manager Dorival Júnior, he was again first-choice after overtaking new signing Werley.
On 29 February 2016, Gustavo Henrique renewed his contract until January 2020. He became an undisputed starter during the campaign, and on 12 June completed his 100th game for the club by starting in a 2–0 away win against Santa Cruz. In September, however, he suffered another knee injury, being sidelined for another six months.
