Vasco arrive in São Paulo to face Palmeiras in Brasileirão | OneFootball

Vasco arrived in São Paulo on Saturday ahead of Sunday’s Campeonato Brasileiro meeting with Palmeiras, having trained in Rio before flying.

According to Globo.com, five supporters greeted the squad at their hotel, collecting autographs from Spinelli, Puma, Léo Jardim, Cuesta and Adson. Local fan Gil, father of Arthur and Pedro, said his sons, admirers of Spinelli, backed a Vasco win.

The match kicks off at 16:00 Brasília time. Head coach Pedro Emanuel will be without Jair, who sustained a right adductor strain against Santos last Sunday and is expected to be out for about a month.

Brenner, with a ligament injury in his left foot, and Rojas, who has a right thigh oedema, are also sidelined.

Sosa and Colidio return after missing the Olimpia tie as they were not registered for the Copa Sudamericana, while Cuiabano is back from suspension to take the left-back spot. Probable XI: Léo Jardim, Paulo Henrique, Cuesta, Robert Renan, Cuiabano, Sosa, Thiago Mendes, Tchê Tchê, Andrés Gómez, Adson (David), Colidio.

This is the 24th round of the league. The Rio club sit 19th on 22 points, two behind Internacional, the first team outside the relegation zone.
