On the other hand, the midfielder will fulfill the last game of the suspension he received from the Full Court of Sports Justice (STJD) for the expulsion against Vitória, in the first round, after a missing one in Jamerson.
With the absence of embezzlement, Leonardo Jardim’s cruise is expected to enter the field with the lineup that has been considered the “holder”. Lucas Silva, who served suspension against Bahia, returns to the team and should take over the place of Matheus Henrique.
