Forward Vitor Roque, after recovering from ankle surgery, is expected to be included in Abel Ferreira’s squad and start the match on the bench. Paulinho and Allan, suspended, and Flaco López, on vacation after the World Cup, are out of the match.

A likely Palmeiras lineup to face Coritiba is:

Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo and Piquerez; Emiliano Martínez, Marlon Freitas, Andreas Pereira; Arias, Ramón Sosa and Mauricio

“We’re eager to play again after such a long break. I think everyone is excited, wanting to compete again, reconnect with our fans, and win matches. Everyone is very focused and highly determined, the last training sessions were very intense, and now it’s about bringing all of that into the games,” he said.

“The mid-season break was very important for us. It gave us a chance to rest mentally and physically as well. We were able to analyze certain things we still needed to improve even more, and I believe we improved a lot. Now it’s time to put that into practice in the next game,” he added.
