Rossi; Varela (Royal), Léo Ortiz (Vitão), Léo Pereira and Alex Sandro; Jorginho, Evertton Araújo (Pulgar) and Paquetá; Carrascal (Arrascaeta), Cebolinha and Pedro.

Leonardo Jardim will only be without two players for the derby against Fluminense. That is because midfielder Saúl Ñíguez is recovering from heel surgery, while forward Bruno Henrique is dealing with pubalgia.

On the other hand, the Portuguese coach will have four players available. Erick Pulgar felt pain after the match against Lanús (ARG) and was a doubt, but is now available. Finally, Léo Pereira, Jorginho, and Arrascaeta rested last Monday (02) and return to the squad.
