Returns

Despite a long list of absences, Verdão also has good news for the derby. Vitor Roque should be available to Abel Ferreira after missing the Campeonato Paulista debut. Last week, he suffered a mild ankle sprain during a training match with Desportivo Brasil, but is already training with the squad.

Alongside him, Flaco López may also be an option for the match. He was also absent against Portuguesa due to the flu.
