Krovinovic takes Willian's No 10 shirt at Grêmio, could debut from bench | OneFootball

Filip Krovinovic has taken Grêmio's No 10 following Willian's departure last week. He will be among the substitutes against Atlético-MG for the first time and could make his debut during the match.

According to Globo.com, the Croatian requested the shirt after his former team-mate left.

The number eight, with which he was unveiled, now goes to midfielder Noriega, who previously wore 19. Newly signed midfielder Danilo Barbosa has yet to have his squad number confirmed.

Midfielder Villasanti and left-back Marlon are unavailable, both managed for physical reasons after recent long spells without action.

Pedro Gabriel comes into defence and Dodi into midfield.
