On the morning of this Friday, the players of Grêmio gathered at the CT Presidente Luiz Carvalho to conduct the final training session focused on the classic match against Juventude, valid for the sixth round of the Campeonato Gaúcho, which concludes the first phase of the competition. The match is scheduled for 4:30 PM (Brasília time) this Saturday.
Initially, coach Luis Castro's staff held a conversation with the team, followed by a light run and specific exercises as a form of warm-up.
Subsequently, the Portuguese coach led a tactical session with the group and, finally, a set-piece and rehearsed play training.
Injured, Kannemann, Braithwaite, and Villasanti will be unavailable for Luis Castro, while João Pedro is doubtful after feeling discomfort in his thigh last Wednesday against Fluminense. On the other hand, Monsalve may return as an option for the Portuguese coach.
Thus, Grêmio is expected to take the field with: Gabriel Grando; Marcos Rocha, Erick Noriega, Viery, and Caio Paulista; Dodi, Tiago Augusto, and Monsalve; Pavón, Enamorado, and André Henrique.
