Grêmio face attacking doubts for Vasco clash as suspension and injuries bite | OneFootball

Grêmio's relegation fight with Vasco is approaching, and attacking options are uncertain due to suspension and injuries.

According to Globo.com, head coach Luís Castro will be without Pavon after his third booking, while Amuzu and Jovane Cabral remain doubtful.

Pavon was cautioned near the end of the first half in Monday's defeat at Vitória in the Barradão, for dissent. Back in the front line after a long stint filling in at full-back, he now needs a replacement.

Amuzu missed the trip to Salvador and is injured, Castro said post-match, without giving details. Jovane Cabral was withdrawn at the last minute against Chapecoense with a muscle problem and has not returned. Both will be assessed by medical staff this week.

Beyond Tetê, who started alongside Pavon against Vitória, the only natural option is Enamorado, used by Castro in the second half of that match. Others, such as Krovinovic, could be used in the role.

Grêmio sit 15th on 28 points, three ahead of Vasco, the first side in the bottom four. Kick-off is 16:00 on Saturday at the Arena. The squad reconvenes on Wednesday to begin preparations for the 27th round.
