For the match, coach Leonardo Jardim is dealing with five absences and also needs to keep an eye on two players who are one booking away from suspension.

Lucas Paquetá and Luiz Araújo remain under the care of the Medical Department. While the midfielder is undergoing physiotherapy and doing strength exercises in the gym after a thigh injury, the forward is recovering from a left knee injury.

Meanwhile, Léo Ortiz is in the transition phase to be cleared after a thigh injury, but he still will not be available this Wednesday (22). In addition, because of Arena Condá’s synthetic pitch, De La Cruz was not included in the squad, while Carrascal completes the list of absences as he serves an automatic suspension.
