Palmeiras have Gustavo Gómez for Grêmio clash, see line-up | OneFootball

First of all, Palmeiras face Grêmio this Sunday, the 20th, at 11 a.m. (Brasília time), in the 28th round of the Série A of the Brazilian Championship. The team coached by Abel Ferreira will have an important change in the green-and-white defense.

Suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards, Murilo will make way for Gustavo Gómez. The Paraguayan had also missed Palmeiras’ match against LDU in the Copa Libertadores due to the same punishment and now returns to the defensive line against the Tricolor Immortal.

Abel Ferreira absent for Palmeiras

In addition to the change in defense, Palmeiras will also have an absence on the coaching staff. Abel Ferreira will not be able to lead the team from the sidelines this Sunday. The green-and-white coach was punished by the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) after kicking a microphone on the touchline.

With the suspension, Abel Ferreira will have to follow the match from outside the technical area. Even without the Portuguese coach on the bench, Palmeiras are looking to keep up the chase of the leader. There are 11 rounds left until the end of the championship, and the gap to Flamengo is only one point.

Palmeiras face Grêmio before the FIFA international break

While the green-and-white side take on Grêmio, Flamengo will play later, at 6:30 p.m., against Red Bull Bragantino at the Maracanã Stadium. The round could therefore change the gap between the top two teams in the Brasileirão before the calendar pauses for the FIFA international break.

What is Palmeiras’ lineup for the match against Grêmio?

Coach Abel Ferreira is expected to field Palmeiras against Grêmio with: Carlos Miguel; Gustavo Gómez, Bruno Fuchs and Alexander Barboza; Agustín Giay, Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira and Joaquín Píquerez; Jhon Arias, Flaco López and Vitor Roque.
