With four players back, Grêmio step up preparations to face Juventude | OneFootball

This Thursday, Grêmio continued its preparations to face Juventude on Sunday, for the 30th round of the Campeonato Brasileiro. For the match, coach Mano Menezes will have four reinforcements, but still faces a long list of absences.

How the training went

After a workout session at the Presidente Luiz Carvalho Training Center gym, the Grêmio squad did a warm-up and running and acceleration drills. Next, the group was divided into three for a dynamic exercise with quick passes and ball recovery.

Afterwards, the players were split again into two teams. One of them was led by Mano Menezes in a tactical drill focusing on attack versus defense and finishing.

The other group was divided into two for a small-sided game of six against six, plus a wildcard player. Finally, a set-piece exercise was also carried out.

Returns

Compared to the heavy defeat against Bahia last Sunday, Grêmio should have four reinforcements to face Juventude. Arthur, who had been dealing with calf pain, is available to Mano Menezes again, as are Volpi and Alysson, who were injured. Suspended against Bahia, Dodi also returns.

Absences

In the medical department, Marcos Rocha, Braithwaite, Villasanti, Alex Santana, Monsalve, Marcos Rocha, João Pedro, Balbuena, Willian, and Rodrigo Ely are out for Grêmio.
