Probable lineups

Palmeiras still have doubts about the lineup they will send out against Grêmio. During preparations, the team was without eight players called up for the pre-World Cup friendlies: Gustavo Gómez, Mauricio, Ramón Sosa, Piquerez, Flaco López, Giay and Jhon Arias.

Piquerez returned earlier, with an injury to his right ankle that forced him to undergo surgery. As a result, he will miss the match. Jhon Arias, meanwhile, took part in the last two training sessions and is expected to play. The others will be assessed by the staff. Of them, however, only Gómez started both matches and is the one likely to be most fatigued.

Abel Ferreira, sent off in the last round, will also be absent. Assistant coach João Martins will be on the touchline. Vitor Roque, who followed an individual schedule in recent days, is doubtful.

For his part, coach Luís Castro has three confirmed absences: Leo Pérez (grade 1 injury to the adductor muscle in his right leg) and he will not be able to play against Palmeiras, Marlon (ankle surgery) and Caio Paulista (contractual clause).
