Murilo picks up third yellow card, will miss Palmeiras v Grêmio clash | OneFootball

Palmeiras has a setback for the match against Grêmio. Defender Murilo was on a warning and received his third yellow card in the goalless draw with Fluminense on Saturday night, during the 35th round of the Brazilian Championship. Thus, he will serve an automatic suspension in the next round.

Murilo was cautioned by the referee already in injury time, at 46 minutes of the second half, after committing a foul on Everaldo.

Also cautioned during the game were midfielder Raphael Veiga and forward Vitor Roque. However, neither of them was on a warning, and therefore, they remain available to Abel Ferreira for the match taking place next Tuesday at the Arena do Grêmio.

Without Murilo, Bruno Fuchs is expected to start alongside Gustavo Gómez. In addition to the absence of the number 26, Verdão will be without injured players Weverton (fracture in the right hand), Lucas Evangelista (surgery on the right thigh), and Paulinho (surgery on the right leg).

Standings Situation

With the result, Palmeiras remains in second place, with 70 points, and saw Flamengo open a four-point lead at the top with three rounds remaining in the Brasileirão. Before the Libertadores final, each team has one more commitment.
