Besides them, Chico da Costa is still undergoing treatment for a muscle injury in his right thigh. Another case is Marquinhos, who is still recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament rupture suffered last season and has not debuted in 2026. Additionally, midfielder Japa was cut from the bench in the last match against Mirassol, in the Brazilian league, after experiencing gastrointestinal discomfort.

In defense, the problems also affect the team's setup. Right-back Kauã Moraes is treating a muscle edema in his right thigh. Defender Jonathan Jesus is recovering from a ligament sprain in his right knee.
