Grêmio squad: Amuzu ruled out for Vitória trip as Caito doubtful | OneFootball

Grêmio arrived in Salvador on Sunday ahead of Monday’s match at Vitória, with Amuzu left out to manage fatigue. According to Globo.com, right-back Diego Caito made the trip.

Jovane Cabral remains sidelined with a muscle problem, having already missed the Chapecoense and Inter games. Marlon is also out through suspension.

Fatigued players such as Villasanti and Wallace could be preserved and start on the bench. Caito is a doubt with a left shoulder problem, and if he does not play, Pavon may drop to right-back with Enamorado coming in.

A likely XI has Weverton in goal. The defence could be Diego Caito, or Enamorado, Wallace, or Gustavo Martins, Kannemann, or Gustavo Martins, and Pedro Gabriel. Midfield options are Noriega, Villasanti and Krovinovic. The front three are Pavon, Tetê and Carlos Vinícius.

Tension from recent matches has eased after reaching the Copa do Brasil semi-finals, helped by strong supporter backing. Dozens of hotel guests, mostly children, gathered in the Hotel Deville lobby in Itapuã to greet the squad.

Weverton, Wallace, Kannemann, Diego Caito, Krovinovic, Pavon, Carlos Vinícius, Braithwaite and Tetê handed out autographs and posed for photos.
