Palmeiras lineup

Abel Ferreira has a WHOLE TEAM of absentees for this Sunday’s (31st) match. There are 11 players out — most of them due to international call-ups.

Giay (suspended), Gustavo Gómez, Piquerez, Emiliano Martínez, Sosa, Mauricio, Flaco López and Arias are away with their national teams.

Vitor Roque is recovering from surgery on his left ankle. Carlos Miguel and Andreas Pereira, meanwhile, are serving suspensions.

As a result, Abel is naming a VERY DIFFERENT side, basically a backup team with just a few additions from the usual starters:

Marcelo Lomba, Khellven, Bruno Fuchs, Murilo and Arthur; Marlon Freitas, Lucas Evangelista, Felipe Anderson and Allan; Luís Pacheco and Luighi.

Chapecoense lineup

Chape made a change in charge, with Fábio Matias being dismissed and Rafael Lacerda (formerly of Atlético-GO) coming in.

The new coach, however, will not yet lead the team from the touchline. As a result, Celso Rodrigues will serve as interim manager this Sunday (31st).

The list of absentees — all due to injury — includes Eduardo Doma, Victor Caetano, Robert, Mancha and Maurício Garcez.
