With changes, check out Vasco’s likely line-up against Palmeiras | OneFootball

Vasco completed their preparation on Tuesday morning for the match against Palmeiras, valid for the 26th round of the Brazilian Championship. After training at the Moacyr Barbosa Training Center, the delegation headed to São Paulo with significant absences in the squad.

Fernando Diniz will not be able to count on Barros, suspended by the third yellow card, and Carlos Cuesta, who suffered a thigh adductor injury against Cruzeiro and was vetoed by the medical department. Matheus França also missed the trip due to an ankle sprain.

The good news is the return of Tchê Tchê. Recovered from a thigh injury, the midfielder trained normally in the last few days and returns to be an option — he was an absolute starter of the team before suffering two consecutive injuries, against Corinthians and Botafogo.

In the defense, Lucas Oliveira should inherit the spot left by Cuesta. The defender had an advantage over Lucas Freitas for being right-footed and trained among the starters in the last activities. Without Barros, the tendency is for Hugo Moura to remain in the midfield, without being pulled back to the defense.

Probable Vasco lineup

Léo Jardim; Paulo Henrique, Lucas Oliveira, Robert Renan and Puma Rodríguez; Hugo Moura, Tchê Tchê and Philippe Coutinho; Rayan, Nuno Moreira and Vegetti
