Vasco’s likely line-up to face Palmeiras in Brasileirão clash | OneFootball

Vasco visit leaders Palmeiras at Nubank Parque on Sunday, needing points to breathe easier in their relegation fight.

According to Globo.com, the squad trained in Paraguay on Friday morning after the 4-1 win over Olimpia, then returned to Rio.

Pedro Emanuel will be without Jair, who sustained a right adductor strain against Santos last Sunday and faces around one month out. Brenner, with a left foot ligament injury, and Rojas, with a right thigh oedema, are also sidelined.

Sosa and Colidio are available after missing Olimpia as they were not registered for the Copa Sudamericana. Cuiabano returns from suspension to reclaim the left-back slot.

Probable XI includes Léo Jardim in goal, a back four of Paulo Henrique, Cuesta, Robert Renan and Cuiabano, midfielders Sosa, Thiago Mendes and Tchê Tchê, and a front three of Andrés Gómez, Adson or David, and Colidio.

Preparation continues on Saturday at CT Moacyr Barbosa, with a morning session before travelling to São Paulo.

Kick-off is 16:00 Brasília time on Sunday in the 24th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. Vasco are 19th on 22 points, two behind Internacional, the first side outside the relegation zone.
