Palmeiras travel to Grêmio without 11 starters before Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Grêmio hosts Palmeiras this Tuesday, the 25th, for the 36th round of the Brazilian Championship

The speech of coach Abel Ferreira is being confirmed at Palmeiras. That’s because the club will play this Tuesday (25) against Grêmio without its 11 most-used players. The reserves traveled this Monday (24), while the starters are waiting for the final of the Libertadores on Saturday (29).

Thus, the starters Carlos Miguel, Khellven, Gustavo Gómez, Murilo, Bruno Fuchs, Piquerez, Andreas Pereira, Raphael Veiga, Allan, Vitor Roque, and Flaco López remained in São Paulo. The rest of the squad traveled to Porto Alegre, according to ‘GE’.

When will Palmeiras’ reserves and starters meet again?

After playing against Grêmio for the 36th round of the Brasileirão, the reserves will meet the starters in Lima, Peru, the site of the Libertadores final. Palmeiras and Flamengo will compete for the title this Saturday (29) starting at 6pm (Brasília time).

Why aren’t the main players playing against Grêmio?

After the draw against Fluminense on Saturday (22), Palmeiras’ coach stated that the Brasileirão was given up, which sounded like surrender. Two days later, only the Verdão substitutes traveled for the continuation of the Brazilian Championship.

Did the reserves receive support?

The bus that took the players to the airport left Palmeiras’ training center with support from the club’s staff. However, videos circulating on social media show that only a few fans were present to offer support.
