Palmeiras to start Gustavo Gómez for suspended Murilo against Grêmio | OneFootball

Palmeiras finished their preparations on Saturday to face Grêmio, with Gustavo Gómez to start in place of the suspended Murilo, according to Globo.com.

The 28th-round fixture kicks off at 11:00 on Sunday at Grêmio's arena in Porto Alegre.

Abel Ferreira trialled the change before travelling, and Gómez had also sat out the Libertadores through an accumulation of bookings. The head coach will not be on the touchline after the STJD punished him for kicking a microphone by the pitch.

The likely XI is: Carlos Miguel, Gustavo Gómez, Bruno Fuchs, Barboza, Giay, Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira, Piquerez, Arias, Flaco López and Vitor Roque.

Saturday's session focused on positioning, then a small-sided technical workout on a reduced pitch with three teams.

Palmeiras are one point behind leaders Flamengo with 11 rounds remaining. Flamengo face Bragantino at 18:30 at the Maracanã.
