Grêmio begin week eyeing debuts, injury returns and exits before Atlético-MG | OneFootball

Grêmio returned to training on Monday for a week that could bring debuts, injury returns and departures.

According to Globo.com, Luís Castro's side host Atlético-MG on Wednesday at 21:30 at the Arena in the Brasileirão, days after sealing a place in the Gauchão final.

Recent midfield signings Juan Nardoni and Leonel Pérez have been training with the group and are likely to be available against the Galo. Nardoni has a stronger chance of starting. Neither is registered for the Gauchão, so they cannot feature in the decisive Gre-Nais.

Luís Castro is also monitoring possible returns. Willian, sidelined by muscle oedema, will be re-evaluated for the match. The same applies to Monsalve, who is in the final stage of recovery from a left thigh injury.

Tetê is not expected to be available on Wednesday. The forward sustained a right hamstring injury confirmed last week. A 10 to 14-day estimate was given, so any return would be from Saturday onwards.

Outgoing moves are also in focus. Cristaldo has an offer from a foreign club and could leave. Cuéllar has rejoined after recovering from a virus and, with conditions not in place for him to continue, has an imminent exit via a possible contract termination.
